Question

Ann and her friends are visiting chocolate shops in Hampton. They take a cab from one chocolate shop to another. On a map, the two are separated by 1.5 inches. The scale of the map is 3 inches = 5.2 miles. In real life, what is the distance between the two chocolate shops?

Answer 1

Ann and her friends traveled 2.6 miles to go to another chocolate shop in the cab.

Explanation:

As we know, that 1.5 is half of 3. And to understand that better. Let's do this

1.5--> 15

3-->30

30-15=15. So, 15 (1.5), is half of 30. (3)

We know that 3 inches on the map equals 5.2 miles, and if we have to basically find the half of 5.2 to get the answer, then, let's do this.

5.2÷2=2.6

So, hence, 2.6 miles is our answer.

Ann and her friends traveled 2.6 miles to go to another chocolate shop in the cab.
