Edgar attends an all boys' school in Clinton County. Once a year, girls from an all girls' school

in Johnson County come to Edgar's school for a dance. On a map, the two schools are
separated by 6 inches. What is the actual distance between the two schools if the scale of the
map is 3 inches = 11 miles?

Since 3 inches is to 11miles, 6 inches is (6/3*11)miles. That's 22miles
