Question

A map has a scale of 4.5 inches=36 kilometers. If the distance between the two cities is 8.5 inches, what is the actual distance between the cities ​

Answer 1

9514 1404 393

Answer:

68 km

Explanation:

Actual distance (d) will be proportional to the map distance.

d/8.5 = 36 km/4.5

d = (36 km)(8.5/4.5) = 68 km

The actual distance is 68 kilometers.
