Question

A scale on a map states every 1/4 of an inch rep. 20 miles if 2 cities r 3 1/2 in. apart how much apart r they

Answer 1

Alright. This one isn't too hard to solve.

If one 1/4 inch is equal to 20 miles, just find how many quarter inches there are in 3 1/2 in.

3 1/2  divided by 1/4  =  14 sets of 1/4

So then just multiply 14  by 20!

= 280 miles apart!

Answer 2

Well 3.25 divided by .25 equals 14, and then 14 times 20 equals 280 miles.

Answer 3

280 miles.

Answer 4

3 x 1/2 or 14 x 1/4 or 14 x 20 = 280 miles
