Question

On a map, the scale is 1 inch to 400 miles. If the

trip from Corpus Christi to El Paso is 600 miles,
how far apart will those cities appear on the map
(in inches)?

Answer 1

B. 1.5 inches

Explanation:

600/400=3/2=1.5

Answer 2

1 and 1/2 inches apart. Since 1 inch is 400 miles half of an inch would be 200 miles!
