every 2 inches is 5 miles right? we start off with 10 divided by 2, which gives us 2 inches, thats one step done! now we need to do .6 divided by two, .5 is 1 and .1 is .2. our answer should be 3.2 inches.

Answer:

4.24 inch

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that:

Kim is drawing a map of the different schools in her school district.

She knows that her middle school is 10.6 miles away from the middle school that her best friend attends.

If every 2 inches on the map represents 5 miles.

We are asked that  how far apart will the two schools be on the map.

5 miles=2 inch

1 mile=2/5 inch

10.6 miles= [tex]\dfrac{2\times 10.6}{5}\\ \\=\dfrac{2\times 106}{5\times 10}\\\\[/tex]

             = 4.24 inch

Hence, On the graph the two schools are 4.24 inches apart
