Question

On a map, the scale is 1 inch = 12 miles. If the distance between two towns on the map is 4.5 inches, what is the actual distance between the two towns?

A. 30 miles
B. 45 miles
C. 54 miles
D. 60 miles

Answer 1

Answer:c

Step-by-step explanation:

12 x 4= 48

12/2= 6

48 + 6= 54

Answer 2

Answer:

The answer is c. 54 miles

Step-by-step explanation

This is because every inch is 12 miles so you must multiply 4.5 by 12

$\frac{1}{12} \frac{4.5}{y}$

Cross multiply and you get your answer after simplifying.
