Question

A scale drawn on a map represents 1 inch to be equal to 36

miles. If two cities are 3 3/4 in apart on the map, what is the
distance between them in real life?
O A. 135 mi
O B. 117 mi.
O c. 99 mi.
O D. 81 mi

Answer 1

A. 135 mi

Explanation:

The distance on the map is 3 3/4 times the 1-inch scale reference, so the distance on the ground will be 3 3/4 times the corresponding 36-mile ground distance.

(3 3/4)(36 mi) = 135 mi

The distance between the cities is 135 mi in real life.
