Question

A map of a nature park has a scale of 2 inches to 1. 5 miles. There are two trails that are 8 inches apart on the map. What is the actual distance between the two trails?.

Answer 1

6 miles

you can turn the problem into the equation

`(1.5)/(2) = (x)/(8)`

to get 2 to be 8 you need to multiply by 4 so you do the same to the top and get 6
