Solution:
We know that:
Based on the map given, we can say that the distance between the youth center and the school is 6 inches.
Use the scale to find out the real distance.
Divide 2 both sides:
- => 2/2 inches = 309/2 ft
- => 1 inch = 309/2 ft
Multiply 6 both sides:
- => 1 x 6 inch = 309/2 x 6 ft
- => 6 inches = 309 x 3 ft
- => 6 inches = 927 ft
The real distance is 927 ft.
