on the map of Ga one inch is equivalent to 15 miles 1 inch=15 miles.If the distance between 2 towns is 1 3/4 inches what is the actual distance between the towns

First, you know that 1 inch is 15 miles, so that leaves you with the 3/4 of an inch. Divide 15 by 4, and then multiply by 3. This should give you 11.25. Then add 15+11.25=? and you should get your answer.

15 * 1.75 = ?

To find the actual distance between the two towns, we need to convert the distance on the map, which is given in inches, to the actual distance in miles.

Given that 1 inch on the map is equal to 15 miles, we can set up a proportion to solve for the actual distance.

Let "x" represent the actual distance between the towns in miles.

We can set up the proportion as follows:

1 inch / 15 miles = 1 3/4 inches / x miles

To solve for "x," we can cross-multiply:

1 inch * x miles = 15 miles * (1 3/4 inches)

x miles = 15 miles * (7/4)

Next, let's simplify the right side of the equation:

x miles = 105/4 miles

Finally, we need to convert the fraction into a mixed number:

x miles = 26 1/4 miles

Therefore, the actual distance between the two towns is 26 1/4 miles.
