Answer 1

Explanation:

• On a map of Arizona, 2 inches represents 52 miles. The distance between Yuma and Sentinel is 3.5 inches on the map. What is the actual distance, in miles, between these two cities?

you can solve with a proportion between the real measurements and those on the map

52 : 2 = x : 3.5

x = 52 x 3.5 : 2

x = 182 : 2

x = 91 miles

------------------------- check

52 : 2 = 91 : 3.5

26 = 26

the answer is good
