Danny is drawing a map to show the directions from his house to his grandmother’s house. He uses a scale
of 1.5 inches represents 18 miles. If the distance from his house to his grandmother’s house is 24 miles, how long is the drawing on the map?
the answer is (0.4_poop_4.0) ;)

To determine the length of the drawing on the map, we can use the given scale. The scale states that 1.5 inches on the map represents 18 miles in real life.
First, we need to find out how many inches on the map represent 1 mile in real life. We can calculate this by dividing the inches on the map by the corresponding number of miles in real life:
Inches on the map per mile = Scale (inches) / Scale (miles)
Inches on the map per mile = 1.5 inches / 18 miles
Simplifying the equation, we have:
Inches on the map per mile ≈ 0.0833 inches/mile (rounded to 4 decimal places)
Now, we can calculate the length of the drawing on the map by multiplying the number of miles by the inches on the map per mile:
Length on the map = Distance (miles) * Inches on the map per mile
Length on the map = 24 miles * 0.0833 inches/mile
Calculating this expression, we find that the length of the drawing on the map is approximately 2 inches.
