Question

A map scale designates 1 inch = 50 miles. If the distance between two towns on the map is 2.75 inches, how many miles must you drive to go from the first town to the second?

Answer 1

well if 1 inch is 50 miles then we would have to divide that by 4 and ger 12.5 so now we can figure out the .75 inch would be 37.5 now we can add the 2 inch which is 100. finally add 100+37.5= 137.5 there's your answer hope this helps!
