To find the actual distance from David's house to the soccer field, we can set up a proportion:
0.8 inches ----------------- 6 miles
4.8 inches ----------------- x miles
0.8/6 = 4.8/x
0.1333 = 4.8/x
x = 4.8 / 0.1333
x = 36 miles
Therefore, the actual distance from David's house to the soccer field is 36 miles.
