On a map of North Carolina, the distance between Raleigh and Charlotte is 1 point
3 inches. The scale on the map is 1 inch = 40 miles. What is the actual
distance?

Answer 1

52 miles

Explanation:

You can use simple law of proportions to calculate this one.

`\frac{1.3 inch}x} = (1inch)/(40mile)\\x= 52 miles`

solve for x and you get 52 miles.

I have added a similar example below if that helps further explain this.
