Answer 1

Answer:

14 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Her house to school is 5 miles.

The distance on the map is 2.5 inches, so we know 2.5 inches equals 5 miles.

Divide 5 miles by 2.5 inches to find miles per inch:

5 / 2.5 = 2 miles per inch.

Now you can multiply the other dimensions on the map by 2 to find total miles:

School to Library = 3 x 2 = 6 miles.

Library to Park = 1.5 x 2 = 3 miles.

Total distance traveled: 5 + 6 + 3 = 14 miles.
