Question

Yi is told that the item that she wants to buy is still available at a store that is 3/4 inch on a map from her current location. If the scale of the map is 1 inch= 12 miles, how far away is yi from the store?

Answer 1

9 miles from the store

3/4 of 12=9

Answer 2

9 miles.

Explanation:

We have been given that Yi is told that the item that she wants to buy is still available at a store that is 3/4 inch on a map from her current location. The scale of the map is 1 inch= 12 miles.

To find the actual distance between Yi and store we will multiply 3/4 by 12 as:

`\text{The distance between Yi and store}=(3)/(4)\text{ inch}* \frac{\text{12 miles}}{\text{inch}}`

`\text{The distance between Yi and store}=(3)/(4)* \text{12 miles}`

`\text{The distance between Yi and store}=3* \text{3 miles}`

`\text{The distance between Yi and store}=9\text{ miles}`

Therefore, Yi is 9 miles away from the store.
