A MAP HAS THE SCALE OF 1 INCH = 80 MILES. WHAT IS THE ACTUAL DISTANCE , IN MILES, BETWEEN TWO TOWNS THAT ARE 4 1/2 INCHES APART ON THE MAP?
1. 280
2. 320
3. 324
4. 360
5. 400
THE ANSWER IS 360 ,WHY BECAUSE YOU GET 4 1/2 MULTIPLY 4(2)=8+1 = 9 THEN DIVDE BY 2 WHICH ID GOING TO GIVE YOU A DECIMAL 4.5 MULTIPLY BY 80 = 360
SINCERLY THE WAP QUEEN
the answer is 360. If you divide 360 by 4.5 (4 and a half) you get 80 miles.
Hope this helps!:)

To find the actual distance between the two towns, you need to use the scale given on the map. The scale is 1 inch = 80 miles.
First, you need to find the distance in miles for one inch on the map. Since 1 inch represents 80 miles, you can multiply the distance on the map (4 1/2 inches) by the scale factor:
4 1/2 inches * 80 miles/inch = 360 miles
Therefore, the actual distance between the two towns is 360 miles.
Answer: 4. 360
