Question

Explain to me ? How do I get the answer

Answer 1

Hello!

As we can see, one inch=30 miles. The easiest way to do this would be to multiply 5.6 by 30.

5.6(30)=168

Just to check, we can write this a proportion and solve.


`(inches)/(miles) = (1)/(30) = (5.6)/(m)`

We cross multiply below and divide by one.

5.6(30)=168/1=168

Therefore, the correct answer is B)168 miles.

I hope this helps!

Answer 2

I'm sure the answer is 168, cause Springfield to Colombia is about 5.6 in. as said, and the scale is 1 in = 30 miles. 30 mi. x 5.6 in = 168 miles

I hope it is correct.
