Question

1.25 inched represents 20 miles. long wood and milton are 5 inches apart on the map. what’s the actual distance between long wood and miltown

Answer 1

Hi!

Let's set up a proportion and cross-multiply.

`(1.25)/(5) (20)/(x)`

5 x 20 = 100

100/1.25 = 80

The actual distance is 80 miles.

Hope this helps! :)
