Question

The scale on this map is 75 miles for every 1.25 inch. If the line represents the fastest route to Universal Studios,(Georgetown to Orlando 923miles) roughly how many inches is the line on the map? Explain how you know.

Answer 1

15.383 inches

Explanation:

Scale = 1.25 on map = 75 miles on ground

Distance on ground from Georgetown to Orlando = 923 miles

The number of inches in the map will be :

Distance on ground / 75 mile

(923 / 75 )* 1.25

= 15.383 inches on the map
