Mia’s house and her aunt’s house are 15.4 inches apart on the map. If every 4 inches on the map represents 10 miles, what is the actual distance from Mia’s house to her aunt’s house, to the nearest tenth of a mile?

Respuesta :

60.40 (if every .10 is a new mile then 64)

Answer:

⇒ The actual distance from Mia’s house to her aunt’s house = 38.5 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance between Mia's house and her aunt's house is given to be 15.4 inches on the map

Given that on the map every 4 inches represents 10 miles

So finding the scale factor on the map :

4 inches on the map = 10 inches in actual

⇒ 1 inch on the map = 2.5 inches in actual

So, The actual distance from Mia's house to her aunt's house = 15.4 × 2.5

⇒ The actual distance from Mia’s house to her aunt’s house = 38.5 miles
