A map has a scale of 1/2 inch to 4 miles. The shortest distance between two cities on the map measures 8 inches. If d represents the shortest distance between the two cities, what is d?
The answer would be C because for every 1 inch, would be 8 miles, so we then multiply the inches by 8 to get to 8 inches, so we then multiply the miles by 8 and we get 64 miles.
