Question

Serge is making a map of a small town that is 5.7 miles long and 4.3 miles wide. If he is using the scale 1 inch = 0.5 miles, how large will his map be?

11.4 x 8.6 inches
2.85 x 2.15 inches
5.7 x 4.3 inches
22.8 x 17.2 inches

Answer 1

Answer: 11.4 x 8.6 inches
Explanation: If 1 inch equals 0.5 miles, then you would divide the inches by 2 to get the miles. So 11.4/2=5.7, and 8.6/2=4.3, and that is the correct answer.
I hope this helps! :)
