The distance on a map is given. Find the actual distance, if the scale on the map is 1 in.=60 miles.
2 3/4 in.
Please help! Thank you in advance.
2 3/4 in = 2.75 inches
so just multiply that by 60
2.75*60=165 miles
It would 165 miles.
ok, thank you.
u can also do this, but u can do it the easier way, in ur opinion
2 inches=120 miles
3/4 mile= 45 miles
u find that out by dividing the original 60 miles by 4 and then multiplying that by 3
120+45=165 miles
To find the actual distance corresponding to the given distance on a map, you need to use the scale of the map.
The scale of the map provided is 1 inch = 60 miles. This means that every inch on the map represents 60 miles in real-life.
To find the actual distance, you simply need to multiply the given distance on the map by the scale factor.
Given distance on the map: 2 3/4 inches.
To convert this to a mixed number, you can rewrite it as 11/4 inches.
Now, you can multiply the given distance on the map by the scale factor:
Actual distance = (Given distance on the map) x (Scale factor)
= (11/4 inches) x (60 miles/1 inch)
To cancel out the inches, you can multiply the numerator and denominator by 4:
Actual distance = (11 x 60) miles
= 660 miles
Therefore, the actual distance represented by 2 3/4 inches on the map is 660 miles.
