Question

On the map of the Mauna Loa volcano in Hawaii (distributed in class), determine the distance in miles and in kilometers from the “Patrol Cabin” (at the summit of Mauna Loa) to the “Rest House” (northeast of the summit or Mauna Loa). The scale of the map is 1:250,000

Answer 1

We don't have that map.

Answer 2

the two places are 2.5 miles apart. I am having difficulty setting the problem up I believe its 8 miles

Answer 3

2.5 x 250,000 = 625.000
5280 ft in a mile
63,360 inches in a mile
625,000/ 63,360 =9.86 miles and 15.86 kilometers
