Question

On a​ map, 1 inch equals 9.2 miles. Two houses are 1.5 inches apart on the map. What is the actual distance between the​ houses?

Answer 1

The distance between the two houses is 13.8 miles.

Explanation:

Half of 9.2 is 4.6, so I added the two numbers together because it would be 1.5 inches and the answer is 13.8 miles.
