Answer:

Explanation:

while on a beach vacation,Tasha makes a scale drawing of point of interest between two piers.

Given that On her drawing,

2 cm represent 0.5ml.

The piers are 12cm apart on tasha's drawing.

To calculate the actual distance, in miles between the two piers, first divide the 12cm by 2 cm

12/2 = 6 cm

Multiply the answer by 0.5

6 × 0.5 = 3ml

Therefore, the actual distance, in miles between the two piers is 3ml.
