Question

Manuel is leaving Boston to go on a hike at Mt. Monadnock, in New Hampshire. He mapped out a route with the map scale of 1 in. = 25 mi and found the total distance on the map to be about 3.2 inches. What is the actual distance Manuel will travel?

Answer 1

The answer is 80 miles.

Explanation:

Manuel mapped out a route with the map scale of 1 in. = 25 miles

This is the scale factor that means for any actual value we have to multiply 25 to the map value.

Given is that Manuel found the total distance on the map to be about 3.2 inches.

So, the actual distance that Manuel will travel is =
`25*3.2=80` miles.

Answer 2

Answer: The actual distance Manuel will travel = 80 miles

Explanation:

Given: Manuel mapped out a route with the map .

The scale of the map shows 1 inches = 25 miles

Since, the total distance on the map which Manuel will travel= 3.2 inches

Therefore, the actual distance Manuel will travel=
`3.2*25\ miles=80\ miles`

Hence, the actual distance Manuel will travel = 80 miles
