Question 830616: You are looking at a map of the school grounds where 1 inch = 2500 feet. You measure a distance of 2.05 inches between two buildings. How many feet in actual distance is it between these two buildings? Answer by JulietG(1812) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! If 1 inch represents 2500 feet, how many feet does 2.05 inches represent?
Multiply 2.05 by 2500 to get 5125.
.
You can "estimate" that the total is going to be just above 5000, as it's just over twice the 2500 that one inch represents.
