Question

Mora is using a map to find the distance between her house and her cousin's house. She knows that $2$ centimeters on the map represent $300$ miles. On the map, the distance between her house and her cousin's house is $20$ centimeters. What is the distance, in miles, between Mora's house and her cousin's house?

Answer 1

3,000 miles

Explanation:

Calculation for the distance, in miles, between Mora's house and her cousin's house

Distance in miles =(2centimeters÷20centimeters) *300 miles

Distance in miles=10*300 miles

Distance in miles= 3,000 miles

Therefore the distance, in miles, between Mora's house and her cousin's house will be 3,000 miles
