In a AAA map of Ohio, 1 inch equals approximately 10
miles or 18 kilometers. If the distance on the map
between Paulding and Eaton is 9.8 inches, how many
kilometers is it between the two towns?
Let x = km
1/18 = 9.8/x
To find the number of kilometers between Paulding and Eaton, we can use the scale given on the AAA map of Ohio. According to the scale, 1 inch on the map represents approximately 18 kilometers.
Given that the distance between Paulding and Eaton on the map is 9.8 inches, we can calculate the distance in kilometers as follows:
Distance in kilometers = (Number of inches on the map) x (Conversion factor)
Plugging in the values:
Distance in kilometers = 9.8 inches x 18 kilometers/inch
Now, we can calculate the actual distance:
Distance in kilometers = 176.4 kilometers
Therefore, the distance between Paulding and Eaton is approximately 176.4 kilometers.
