3. On a map, the scale is 1.25 inches for every 4.5 miles. A family is planning

a trip from Smithville to Jonesville first, then onto Robertsville. They
measure on a map the distance from Smithville to Jonesville is 14.5 inches
and from Jonesville to Robertsville is 19.75 inches. What is the total
distance for the trip? *

Answer 1

Answer: 123.30 miles

Explanation:

Key: 1.25 in = 4.5 miles

14.5+19.75=34.25

34.25 divided by 1.25 = 27.40

27.40 x 4.5 = 123.30 miles <3
