Question

Alex created a map of his neighborhood using a scale of 1 inch = 2 blocks. If his street is 6 blocks long, how long will it be on the map?

a ) 12 inches
b ) 3 inches
c ) 6 inches
d ) 2 inches

Answer 1

3 inches because if 1 inch=2 blocks and the street is 6 blocks long, you are basically multiplying them each by three. 1x3=3 and 2x3=6
