Question

Use the map and scale below. What is the actual distance from Northdale to Southdale?

Answer 1

10 miles

Explanation:

Answer 2

10 miles

Explanation:

To use the scale, we write a ratio of
`(map)/(real world)` and simplify.

We know
`(map)/(real world)=(2in)/(8 miles)`.

We also know the distance from each is just over 2 inches. We find this by using the scale and placing it between Northdale and Southdale. This means it's at least 8 miles away. Because it is not 3 inches away, this means it is less than 12 miles. 10 miles is the best solution.
