Answer 1

Answer: The actual distance between Reggie's classroom in the cafeteria is 180 feet.

Explanation:

Given: The scale of of map of the school shows 1 inch on map = 150 ft

The distance between Reggie's classroom in the cafeteria on map= 12 inch

Therefore, the actual distance between Reggie's classroom in the cafeteria is given by :_

`d=150times12180\ ft`

Hence, the actual distance between Reggie's classroom in the cafeteria is 180 feet.

Answer 2

the actual distance is 1800 ft.

Explanation:

Proportion states that the two fractions or ratios are equal.

Let x be the actual distance.

As per the statement:

Reggie was looking at a map of the school the scale shows that 1 inch equals 150 ft.

⇒1 inch = 150 ft.

if the distance between his classroom in the cafeteria measures 12 in on the map.

by definition of proportions we have;

`(1)/(150) = (12)/(x)`

By cross multiply we have;

`x = 12 \cdot 150 = 1,800` ft

Therefore, the actual distance is 1800 ft.
