a map has a scale of 1.2 in : 9.2 mi. If Clayton and Greenwood are 26.1 mi apart, then they are how far apart on the map?
we know that
the scale is 1.2 in : 9.2 mi.
that means
1.2 in in the map represent 9.2 mi in the actual
so
applying proportion
we have
1.2/9.2=x/26.1
solve for x
x=(1.2/9.2)*26.1
x=3.4 in
therefore
