Question

The historical walking tour of a town covers a total distance of 5 miles. The map shows that the path of the tour travels 3 inches north, 4 inches east, 2 inches south, and 1 inch west. How many miles does each inch on the map represent?
0.2 miles
0.5 miles
2 miles
10 miles

Answer 1

Add the map distances: 3 + 4 + 2 + 1 = 10 inches.
The real distance is 5 miles, so each inch represents 5/10 = 0.5 miles.
