To find the actual distance between the practice facility and the site of the performance, we need to use the scale on the map.
The scale on the map is 3 centimeters = 5 kilometers.
The distance on the map is given as 12 centimeters.
To find the actual distance, we can set up a proportion:
3 centimeters / 5 kilometers = 12 centimeters / x kilometers
Cross-multiplying, we get:
3 * x = 12 * 5
3x = 60
Dividing both sides by 3, we get:
x = 20
Therefore, the actual distance between the practice facility and the site of the performance is 20 kilometers.
Tim plays the cello in the Winchester Symphony Orchestra. On a map, the distance between the practice facility and the site of the orchestra's next performance is 12 centimeters. The map uses a scale of 3 centimeters = 5 kilometers. What is the actual distance between the practice facility and the site of the performance?
