Explanation:

Question 7

Step1: Analyze Map A

From the map, we can see that the scale for Map A is given as 1 inch = 300 miles.

Step2: Analyze Map B

From the map, we can see that the scale for Map B is given as 1 inch = 150 miles.

Map B shows only the eastern part of Texas. El Paso is located in the western part of Texas, so it is not within the area covered by Map B.

Looking at Map B, cities like San Antonio and Houston are visible. On Map A, which shows a larger (more general) area, these specific eastern Texas cities might not be shown in detail or at all. (Note: The actual cities may vary slightly based on the map, but common ones are San Antonio, Houston, Austin (if visible), etc. from the eastern part shown in Map B that are not detailed in Map A's broader view.)

Answer:

Map A: 300 miles per inch; Map B: 150 miles per inch
