Answer 1

The hiker would’ve walked 9 miles

Answer 2

9 miles

Explanation:

Given :

Scale : 1 inch = 2 miles

The distance on the map from the point of intersection to point A measures 4.5 inches.

To Find: How many miles would be traveled by a hiker walking from the point of intersection to point A?

Solution:

Distance between point of intersection and point A = 4.5 inches

Since we are given that 1 inch = 2 miles

So, 4.5 inches =
`4.5 * 2 = 9 miles`

So, Distance between point of intersection and point A in miles is 9 miles.
