Answer: the The actual distance on ground(in miles) is approximately 6.82 miles to 2 decimal places or 7 miles to the nearest whole number
Step-by-step explanation:
A map scale shows that 1/3 inch on the map equals an actual distance of 3 miles. This means that a measurement of 0.33 inches on the map represents an actual distance of 3 miles on ground.
If a distance on map is 3/4 inch, what is the actual distance in miles. The actual distance on ground(in miles) will be :
0.33 inch on map = 3 miles on ground
3/4 inch= 0.75 inch = x miles on ground
0.33 × x = 3 × 0.75
0.33x =2.25
x = 2.25/0.33= 6.8182
Approximately 6.82 miles to 2 decimal places or 7 miles to the nearest whole number.
