Question

The distance between City A and City B is 500 miles. A length of 1.7 feet represents this distance on

a certain wall map. City C and City D are 2.72 feet apart on this map. What is the actual distance
between City C and City D?
The actual distance between City C and City Dis miles.

Answer 1

799.99999 or 800 miles.

Explanation:

You first need to find the conversion rate, so you divide 500 by the number representing it on the map, that being 1.7 feet. Once you've done this, you will get a conversion rate of 294. Now that you have the conversion rate, you multiply your second number, 2.72. This will give you your answer of 799.68 miles, which can be rounded up to 800 miles.
