the scale on a map is 1 inch equals 5 feet. what is the distance between two points on the map that are 8 1/2 inches apart on the map
Answered by PsyDAG
5/1 = x/8.5

Solve for x.
Answered by cheyenne
well if one inch is five feet, then 8 inches would obviously be 40 feet right? and half of five is 2.5, so add 40 plus 2.5, your answer is 42.5.
