Question

The scale on the map shows that 4 cm = 52 miles. How many miles apart are two towns if the measurement is 22 cm?

Answer 1

The distane between two towns can be determined as,

`\begin{gathered} 4\text{ cm=52 miles} \\ 1\text{ cm=}\frac{52\text{ miles}}{4} \\ =13\text{ miles} \\ 22\text{ cm=22}*13\text{ miles} \\ =286\text{ miles} \end{gathered}`

Thus, the required distance is 286 miles.
