The distance between Boomtown and Dayville on a map is 13.0 cm. The scale of the map is 10 cm = 25 km
Approximately how far apart are Boomtown and Dayville?

Answer 1

32.5

Explanation:

We can set this problem up as a proportion:

`(10)/(25) = (13)/(x)` In doing this, we find the exact distance from Boomtown to Dayville. Another way to do it is by dividing 25 by 10, to get 2.5, then multiplying 2.5 by 13 to get 32.5
