Nate drew a map of his home town with a scale of 1/4 inch equaling 1 mile. His house was 2 1/2 inches from his school. How far apart is his house from the school in actual miles?

Respuesta :

To find the answer change inches to decimals.

2 1/2 = 2.5 and 1/4 = .25

Then divide 2.5 by .25 which give the distance of Nate's house from his school in miles.
