Question

MAPS A map of the eastern United States has a scale
where 3 inches = 25 miles. If the distance on the map
between Columbia, South Carolina, and Charlotte, North
Carolina, is 11.5 inches what is the actual distance
between the cities?

Answer 1

Answer:

$95\frac{5}6{$ miles

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find base. 1 inch = $\frac{25}{3}$ miles.

multiply the map distance by base.

$11.5\cdot\frac{25}{3} = 95.8\overline{3}=95\frac{5}{6}$ miles
