Question

A scale on a map uses 1/2 inch=15 miles.If Austin and Houston are 6 3/4 inches apart,what is their actual distance? if you give me the answer and explain it i give you 10 points/////

Answer 1

1 Inch = 30 miles                                          1/2 Inch = 15 miles 
6 Inches = 180 miles                                     3/4 Inch = 22.5 miles 
             (30 x 6 = 180)                                (15/2 = 7.5 -> 15 + 7.5 = 22.5)
      

Then 180 + 22.5 = 202.50 miles apart
