Eddie is looking at a map of Sandy Shore Park. The scale on the map is: 1 inch = 1/2 mile.

If Clark's Pond and Vista Ridge are 3 inches apart on the map, what is the actual distance from Clark's Pond to Vista Ridge?

1 answer

To find the actual distance from Clark's Pond to Vista Ridge, we need to calculate the distance using the scale on the map.

Since 1 inch on the map represents 1/2 mile in actual distance, we can set up a proportion:

1 inch on map / 1/2 mile = 3 inches on map / x miles actual distance

Cross multiply to solve for x:

1 * x = 3 * 1/2
x = 3/2
x = 1.5 miles

Therefore, the actual distance from Clark's Pond to Vista Ridge is 1.5 miles.
