Ms. Sue please help me, The distance between morristown and bellington is 4 inches on a map. If the scale on the map is 1 inch = 25 miles, what is the actual distance between the two towns?

9 answers

1 inch = 25 miles
2 inches = 50 miles
4 inches = ? miles

or you could use a proportion
1/25 = 4/x
Cross multiply and solve for x.
