Question

A map of part of a city is shown. Maple Avenue, New York, and Peachtree Boulevard all run directly east-west.

Answer 1

Walter will have walked 1.05 miles.

To find the missing piece on the right side, we need to set up and solve the following proportion.

0.2 / 0.5 = 0.3 / x

x = 0.75

Now, that we know the 2 pieces on the right side, just add them together.
0.3 + 0.75 = 1.05 miles
