Savannah drew a map of Texas for her Geography class. According to Savannah’s map scale, one-
half inch on the map represents approximately 77.5 kilometers. If the actual distance from Austin to El
Paso is approximately 930 kilometers, what is the approximate distance
between Austin and El Paso on Savannah’s map?
First, take the 930 kilometers and divide it by 77.5 kilometers. You will get 12. This means the distance between Austin and El Paso is 12 one half inches. That is equivalent to 6 inches.
