Question

PLEASE HELP ME

A map has a scale of
2 in. = 17 mi. If you measured the distance between two cities to
be 19 in. on the map, how many miles would it actually be?
If necessary, round your answer to the nearest tenth.

Answer 1

161.5 miles

Explanation:

19 inches is 9.5 times 2 inches. So, the actual distance is 9.5 times 17 miles:

9.5 × 17 miles = 161.5 miles
