On a​ map, 1 inch equals 25 miles. If two cities are 4 inches apart on the​ map, how far are they actually​ apart?

Answer 1

On a​ map, 1 inch equals 25 miles. If two cities are 4 inches apart on the​ map, how far are they actually​ apart?

For this question, I would multiply the number of inches apart the cities are by the number of miles equal to one inch. We know that the cities are 4 inches apart, so to solve this problem multiply 4 by the number of miles 1 inch equals.

Answer 2

On a​ map, 1 inch equals 25 miles. If two cities are 4 inches apart on the​ map, how far are they actually​ apart?

You can solve this by setting up a ratio or proportion!

For example, you know that your map has a scale of 1 inch.: 25 miles. So set up a proportion:

1 inch./25 miles = 4 inches/ X? (Where X is the actual distance between the two cities)

From there you can cross multiply to get 25 miles * 4 inches = 1 inch. * X

100 miles * inches = X inches

100 miles = X
