asim is planning to drive from City X to City Y. The scale drawing below shows the distance between the two cities with a scale of ½ inch = 10 miles. City X City Y 5 in. What is the actual distance between the two cities

Answer 1

According to the scale, 1 inch represents 20 miles (10 miles x 2).

So, for 5 inches on the scale drawing, the actual distance is 5 inches x 20 miles/inch = 100 miles.

Therefore, the actual distance between City X and City Y is 100 miles.
