On a map 1/4 inch represents 20 miles the distance between two cities on the map is 3 3/4 inches how many miles apart are in the two cities?
300 miles
3 3/4 = 15/4
If each 1/4 = 20 miles, then 15 * 20 = ? miles
230 miles
To find out how many miles apart the two cities are, we need to use the scale provided in the problem. The scale states that on the map, 1/4 inch represents 20 miles.
First, let's find out how many 1/4-inch segments are in 3 3/4 inches. To do this, we divide 3 3/4 by 1/4:
(3 3/4) ÷ (1/4) = (15/4) ÷ (1/4) = 15
So, there are 15 segments of 1/4 inch in 3 3/4 inches.
Now, we can determine the total distance between the cities by multiplying the number of segments (15) by the distance each segment represents (20 miles):
Total distance = Number of segments × Distance per segment
= 15 × 20
= 300
Therefore, the two cities are 300 miles apart.
oooooooooooooooooofffoffooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooofffffffffffff
yeah im to dumb to solve this *dabs*
