Answer:
56.25 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
Walker wants to visit petrified national forest and meteor crater.
On a map, a scale is 2 inches = 75 miles.
The national forest and meteor crater are about 1 and a half inches apart.
Let x miles be the actual distance between national forest and meteor crater.
Then
2 inches - 75 miles
inches - x miles.
Write a proportion:
Cross multiply
Or you can think in such way:
2 inches - 75 miles
1 inch - 37.5 miles
1/2 inch - 18.75 miles
1 1/2 inches - 37.5 + 18.75 = 56.25 miles
