We all know we are here to copy and paste the answer because Quizlet didn't have the right one 😂
To find the number of miles represented by 3 1/2 inches on the map, you can use the conversion rate given: 1 inch represents 800 miles.
First, convert the mixed number 3 1/2 to an improper fraction:
3 1/2 = (2 * 3 + 1) / 2 = 7/2
Next, multiply the conversion rate (800 miles/inch) by the length on the map (3 1/2 inches):
(800 miles/inch) * (7/2 inches) = (800 * 7) / 2 miles = 5600 / 2 miles = 2800 miles
So, your answer of 2800 miles is correct! The distance from Cape Town, South Africa to Nairobi, Kenya is 2800 miles.
