6. There is an animal at the Toledo Zoo that needs to be transported to the Cincinnati Zoo. The distance between the two cities on the map is 12.2 cm. Using the scale on the map below, how many miles apart are the two cities? Make sure you label your answer. *

I don't see the scale.

3cm = 50m

thats the scale

To find out how many miles apart the two cities are, we need to use the scale on the map. The scale provides a ratio between the distance on the map and the actual distance on the ground.

Since the distance between the two cities on the map is given as 12.2 cm, and we don't have the exact scale mentioned, let's assume that the scale is 1 cm = 50 miles. This means that 1 centimeter on the map represents 50 miles in real distance.

To find the actual distance, we can set up a proportion:

1 cm on the map / 50 miles = 12.2 cm on the map / x miles

To solve for x (the actual distance in miles), we can cross-multiply and then divide:

(1 cm) * (x miles) = (12.2 cm) * (50 miles)
x = (12.2 cm * 50 miles) / 1 cm

Now we can calculate the actual distance in miles:

x = (12.2 * 50) miles = 610 miles

Therefore, the two cities are 610 miles apart.
