Question

Marcus looked up the path that he had taken on his run this morning on the map shown below.

Answer 1

Answer:

Option A. 6 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Marcus looked up the path that he had taken on his run this morning on the map shown below

Total distance he had taken on his run =

1 inch + 3 inches + 2 inches + 2.3 inches = 8.3 inches

On the map the scale is 4 inches = 3 miles.

Therefore, 1 inch =  $\frac{3}{4}$  

Therefore, 8.3 inches = $\frac{3}{4}$ × 8.3 = 6.225 miles

Marcus ran 6 miles this morning.

Answer 2

Answer: 6 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. To solve this problem you only need to add the distances shown in the map attached, which shown the path Marcus had taken. Then, you have:

$Total_{distance}=1in+3inches+2inches+2.3inches\\Total_{distance}=8.3inches$

2. Now, you must convert the result obtained from inches to miles. According to the problem $4inches=3miles$, therefore, you have:

$Total_{distance}=\frac{8,3inches*3miles}{4inches}\\Total_{distance}=6.22miles$

3. To the nearest mile:

$Total_{distance}=6miles$
