Question

Harper knows he is 50 yards from school. The map on his phone shows that the school is 2/3 inch from his current location. How far is Harper from home, if the map shows the distance as 3 inches?

Answer 1

Actual distance of the Harper from the school = 50 yards.

According to map the distance from the school = 34 inch.

We could say 34 inches represents 50 yards.

So, 1 inches could be represented by 50/34 = 25/17 yards.

In order to find the actual length of 3 inches in yards, we need to multiply 1 inches value of yards by 3.

Therefore, 3 inches = 3* 25/17 = 75/17 = 4 7/17 yeards in decimals 4.412 yards approximately.

Therefore,  Harper from home is  4 7/17 yeards or 4.412 yards approximately if the map shows the distance as 3 inches.
