Question

Allison was looking at a map with the following scale indicator. 2 inches = 6 miles

Allison measured 3 inches between two towns on the map. What is the distance in miles between the two towns?

Answer 1

There is a distance of 9 miles between the two towns.

Explanation:

We know that 2 inches is 6 miles. But to solve the question, we have to find out how many miles 3 inches is equal to.

In order to solve this, multiply 6 x 1.5, since 3 = 2 x 1.5.

6 x 1.5 = 9

Answer 2

answer: 9

the answer is 9 because 6 ÷ 2 = 3, and if you multiply 3 with 3, you get 9. you multiply the number 3 because you need to find out the distance in miles, and since in inches it is 3, you need to multiply by 3 because that is the formula to get miles.
