Question

The scale of a map is 5 m = 15 mi

map: 5.5 m
actual: ______ mi

Answer 1

I gotcha fammm!! 5=15 then 1=5 so .5=2.5 so 5.5=17.5


17.5 is the answer

Answer 2

Hello there,

You simply convert the meters to miles.
If there are 5 meters on the map, that equals 15 miles. If you have half a meter that is equal to 2.5 miles so your answer would actually be 17.5 miles.

Hope this helps!
