on a map the scale is 1/2 inch=25 miles for each map distance.. so 3 inch=

8 3/4 inch=

multiply the number of inches by 50 and you have miles

The sale on a map is 1 inch=12 feet. What is the actual distance between two points that are are 8 1/2 inches apart

To determine the real-world distances corresponding to the given map distances, you can use the given scale. The scale is 1/2 inch = 25 miles, which means that every 1/2 inch on the map represents 25 miles in reality.

Now, let's calculate the real-world distances for the given map distances:

1) 3 inches:
Since every 1/2 inch represents 25 miles, we can multiply this by 3 to calculate the corresponding real-world distance:
3 * (25 miles/0.5 inches) = 3 * 50 miles = 150 miles

Therefore, 3 inches on the map represents a distance of 150 miles in reality.

2) 8 3/4 inches:
To calculate the real-world distance for this map distance, we can use the same method:
(8 3/4) * (25 miles/0.5 inches) = (35/4) * 50 miles = 437.5 miles

Therefore, 8 3/4 inches on the map represents a distance of 437.5 miles in reality.
