Question

The distance between City A and City B is 250 miles. A length of 1.6 feet represents this distance on a

certain wall map. City C and City D are 2.24 feet apart on this map. What is the actual distance
between City C and City D?

The actual distance between City C and City D is ? miles

Answer 1

Y = city C - city D = 2.24 ft

2.24 ft / (1.6 ft / 250 mi) = 350 mi distance between C and D

Note: 250 mi / 1.6 ft = 156.25 mi / ft

156.25 mi / ft * 2.24 ft = 350 mi
