Question

A map has a scale of 1 in : 14 mi. If
Victoria and Kumba are 2 in apart on the
map, then how far apart are the real cities?

Answer 1

Answer:

28 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Since 1 inch represents 14 miles, we can find the actual distance by multiplying 14 by 2:

14(2)

= 28

So, the real cities are 28 miles apart.

Answer 2

Answer:

SoluTion :-

Let the unknown distance be x

$\tt \dfrac{1}{14} = \dfrac{2}{x}$

By cross multiplication

$\tt \: 14 \times 2 = 1 \times x$

$\tt \: 28 = x$

Therefore

The far apart distance will be 28 miles.
