Carrie and Krystal are taking a road trip from Greenville to North Valley . Each person has her own map,and the scales on the map are different.
A.On Carrie's map, Greenville and North Valley are 4.5 inches apart.The scale on her map is 1 inch=20 miles. How far is Greenville from North Valley?
B. The scale on Krystal's map is 1 inch=18 miles. How far apart are Greenville and North Valley on Krystal's map?
4.5 in ( 20 mi/in) = 90 miles
90 miles (1 in/18 mi) = 5 inches

A. To find the actual distance between Greenville and North Valley using Carrie's map, we can use the scale information. The scale on Carrie's map is 1 inch = 20 miles.
Given that Greenville and North Valley are 4.5 inches apart on her map, we can set up a proportion to find the actual distance:
1 inch on her map is equal to 20 miles in reality.
4.5 inches on her map is equal to x miles in reality.
We can solve this proportion using cross multiplication:
1 inch * x miles = 4.5 inches * 20 miles
x miles = (4.5 inches * 20 miles) / 1 inch
x miles = 90 miles
So, Greenville is 90 miles away from North Valley on Carrie's map.
B. To find the distance between Greenville and North Valley on Krystal's map, we can use a similar approach. The scale on Krystal's map is 1 inch = 18 miles.
Since we already know that Greenville and North Valley are 4.5 inches apart on Carrie's map, we can set up a proportion using the scale on Krystal's map and solve for the distance on Krystal's map:
1 inch on Krystal's map is equal to 18 miles in reality.
4.5 inches on Krystal's map is equal to x miles in reality.
Using cross multiplication:
1 inch * x miles = 4.5 inches * 18 miles
x miles = (4.5 inches * 18 miles) / 1 inch
x miles = 81 miles
So, Greenville is 81 miles away from North Valley on Krystal's map.
