A map has a scale of 1 inch represents 25 miles. If the distance between the two cities on the map is 6 inches how far apart are the cities in real life?

Answer 1

To find the distance between the two cities in real life, we need to convert the length on the map to the actual distance.

Given that 1 inch on the map represents 25 miles, we can set up a proportion:

1 inch on the map = 25 miles in real life

Therefore, 6 inches on the map would be 6 * 25 = <<6*25=150>>150 miles in real life.

Hence, the distance between the two cities in real life is 150 miles.
