Answer:

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.
