Question

Santiago is planning to drive from City X to City Y. The scale drawing below

shows the distance between the two cities with a scale of 1 inch = 11 miles.
City X
- 1 1/2 in.
City Y
What is the actual distance between the two cities?

Answer 1

16 1/2 miles

Explanation:

If 1 inch = 11 miles and the distance between cities is 1 1/2 inches, then we can solve by multiplying
`1 (1)/(2) *11=16 (1)/(2)`.

Hope this helps!
