Question

Merritt is driving to Mount Shasta. On her map, she is a distance of 7 3/4 inches away. The scale of the map is 1/2 inch = 50 miles. How far must Merritt travel to reach her destination

Answer 1

Answer:

775 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Merritt is driving to Mount Shasta.

On her map she is a distance of $7\frac{3}{4}$ inches away.

The scale of the map is 1/2 inch = 50 miles.

Therefore, 1 inch on map = 100 miles.

Her actual distance  =  $7\frac{3}{4}$ inches × 100

                                 =  $\frac{31}{4}$ × 100

                                 =  $\frac{31}{1}$ × 25

                                 = 775 miles

Merritt is 775 miles far to reach her destination.

Answer 2

387.5 miles. because, if 1/2=0.50 then let's make that 0.50 into 1.00. and let's divide 7 3/4 by 2 because, you multiplied 0.50 by 2. 7 3/4=3.875 then multiply by 100=387.5
