Answer:
As given ,
Diameter of earth= 8000 miles
Diameter of moon= 2000 miles
Diameter of earth= 8000 miles=4 ×Diameter of moon ..............(1)
Distance between earth and moon = 240, 000 miles
As i have build 2 dimensional scale model of the earth and moon.
In this model, diameter of moon= 1 inch
So, Diameter of earth= 4 ×Diameter of moon=4×1=4 inches.............[using 1]
As, for conversion you have written
1 inches = 2,000 miles⇒ 1 miles=1 inches ÷ 2000
As given, Distance between earth and moon = 240, 000 miles
= 240,000 ÷ 2,000
= 120 inches
