A wall map has a scale of 128 miles = 6 inches. The distance between Springfield and Lakeview is 2 feet on the map. What is the actual distance between Springfield and Lakeview?

A.42.7miles
B.1.13miles
C.384miles
D.512miles

Respuesta :

1 foot = 12 inches.

Convert 2 feet to inches:

2 feet = 12 * 2 = 24 inches.

Find how many 6 inch increments are in 24 total inches:

24 inches / 6 inches = 4

Multiply the miles ratio by the number of increments:

128 miles x 4 = 512 miles
