You are visiting a friend in Coshocton and need to get to Cedar Point in Sandusky. These two cities are 106 miles apart. Using the scale of 3 cm = 50 miles, how many centimeters apart are the two cities? Make sure you label your answer. Round your answer to the nearest hundredths.

Answer 1

3cm=50mi
So,
3cm/50mi = 1

You can always multiply by 1 without changing anything, so

106mi * 3cm/50mi = 318/50 = 6.36 cm
