5. Nicholas bought a map of a city. It uses a scale of 1 inch to 8 miles.

Nicholas's house and school are 1/2 inches apart on the map. How far apart
would his house and school be on the map if the scale was 1 inch to 6 miles?
What’s the answer to this?

Scale is 1 inch to 6 mile.

So, ½ inch = 6 mile/2 = 3 mile
