Scale Drawings
Marking City is 5 inches away from jamming city on the map. What is the actual distance between the two cities?
Scale: 2inches:35Miles
My answer
2in/35mi = 7ft/x mi
2x=7x35
2x/2=245/2
x=122.5 miles
geeeshhh ....
2 inches represent 35 miles
1 inch represents 35/2 or 17.5 miles, so
5 inches represent 17.5(5) or 87.5 miles
35+35+17.5=87.5
17.5 because half of 35.
Where did you get the 7 from?
Check again. I'll be glad to check your work.
Try setting up a proportion.
HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
am i right
HELLLLPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP
7 was because i added the amount of inches away they were
so i added 2+5 to get 7
