Question

For a map a scale of 2 inches to 70 miles is used. If the distance on the map measures 1.8 inches what is the actual distance

Answer 1

Answer:

63 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

2/70 = 1.8/x                           Cross multiply

2x = 70 * 1.8                          Combine

2x = 126                                Divide by 2

x = 126/2

x = 63

The actual distance is 63 miles.
