on a map 1 inch equals 15 miles. if two cities are 4.5 inches apart on the map , how far are they actually apart

1 answer:

4 0

For these types of questions I like to use the "bowtie" method:

 1 inch = 15 miles
4.5 inches = x miles

To solve, multiply 15 miles by 4.5 inches, then divide this product by 1 inch.

x= 15 miles x 4.5 inches ÷ 1 inch
x= 67.5 miles

Hope this helps!
