Question

find the distance between franklin and fairview if they are 0.8 in apart on a map with a scale of 1 in: 18.3 mi

Answer 1

Answer: 14.64

Explanation:

1 in = 18.3 mi

0.8 in = x

The easiest way to do it is move the decimal in 18.3 over one spot to the left, which would be 1.83. This makes the 0.8 in into 8. Multiply 1.83 and 8 to get 14.64
