A map is drawn to scale such that 1/8 inch represents 65 feet. if the shortest route from the dorm to the grocery store measures 23 ¼ inches on the map, how many miles is it to the grocery store? round to the nearest tenth.
The answer is miles. I'll use decimals in my explanation. 23.25 divided by 0.2 equals 116.25 116.25 multiplied by 65 equals 7556.25 7556.25 divided by 5280 equals 1.43110795455 Rounded to the nearest tenth that's 1.4 Hope it helped.
