Question

The scale on a map reads 1/4
inch = 50 miles. If the distance between the two cities on the map is 2 3/4
inches, find the actual distance between the cities.

Answer 1

Answer:

550 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we know that each 1,4 (quarter) of an inch equals 50 miles. and we know that four 1,4s equals one. so, using that information, we have 2 3/4. so the 2 has 8 quarters, and then we have 3 quarters left. so we add the 8 quarter's and the 3 quarter's, to get 11. and since each quarter is equal to 50 miles, we multiply 50 by 11.

Answer 2

Answer:

550

Step-by-step explanation:

Times 11 by 50 because there are 11 1/4s in 2 3/4
