the sclae on a map is 1in:25mi. You measure 6.5in,between two towns what is the actual distance
I hate math
162.5 miles
i really hope someone was right
45
162.5
To find the actual distance between two towns given a map scale of 1in:25mi and a measurement of 6.5in, you can set up a proportion.
The map scale tells us that 1 inch on the map represents 25 miles in real life.
Let's set up the proportion:
(1 inch on the map)/(25 miles in real life) = (6.5 inches on the map)/(x miles in real life)
Now, cross-multiply and solve for x:
1 * x = 25 * 6.5
x = (25 * 6.5) / 1
x = 162.5
Therefore, the actual distance between the two towns is 162.5 miles.
