Question 1025325: A group of volunteers is delivering holiday gifts to elderly people in nursing homes. On a map, two of the homes that will receive deliveries are 10 inches apart. The map uses a scale of 5 inches = 4 miles. What is the actual distance between the two nursing homes? How many miles? Answer by Cromlix(4381) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Hi there,
Scale of 5 inches = 4 miles
10 inches/5 inches x 4
= 8 miles.
So actual distance = 8 miles.
Hope this helps :-)
