On a map of North Carolina, the distance between Raleigh and Charlotte is 1 point
3 inches. The scale on the map is 1 inch = 40 miles. What is the actual
distance?

Respuesta :

Answer:

52 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

You can use simple law of proportions to calculate this one.

[tex]\frac{1.3 inch}x} = \frac{1inch}{40mile}\\x= 52 miles[/tex]

solve for x and you get 52 miles.

I have added a similar example below if that helps further explain this.
