Question

a map of South Carolina is being made to a scale of 1/2 inches equals 50 miles. Greenville is 230 miles from Myrtle beach. how far apart from each other will the cities appear on the map?

Answer 1

1/2 " = 50 miles
230/50=4.6
4.6*0.5=2.3 inches

Answer 2

All you have to do here is multiply 230 by .5 and you get 115.

They are 115 inches apart on the map.

Hope this helped! :)
