Question

On a map of Arizona, the scale is 1 inch = 5 inches. The distance between Brady's house and Flagstaff is 23 inches on the map. What is the actual distance between Brady's house and Flagstaff.​

Answer 1

So we know that 1 inch on the map = 5 inches.

So if Brady's house is 23 inches away from Flagstaff on the map:

23 * 5 = 115.

So 115 inches is the actual distance...

Wait. His house is 9 feet away from Flagstaff? That's cool.
