You can put this solution on YOUR website!
First, what you need to do on this problem is see how many times 3 goes into 7 1/2 (which if you see that 1 1/2 + 6 is equal to 7 1/2, you can see that 3 goes into 7 1/2 exactly 2 1/2 times).\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "knowing that 3 inches is 100 miles on the map, we can conclude that they are 250 miles apart (2 1/2 * 100). \n" ); document.write( "
