two cities 2 1/4 inches apart. If 1/4 inch on the map represents 50 miles, what is the number of miles in the distance between the two cities?

450 miles

I got 450 also.

2 1/4 and every 1/4= 50

1/4= 50

split the two miles into 1/4's there are 8 of them because there is 4 quartes in a whole. there for 50+50 eight times =400 plus the 1/4 that was given equals 450 miles.

**** that 😐

So many ways to get the same answer 🤓

2 1/4 = 9/4... 1/4=50...9*50=450

that's the most difficult math I've done this year...

You might need a proper solutions, perhaps.

Using the formula:

Actual distance (Da) = Map distance (Dm) x Scale distance (Ds)

Find Da, if

Dm = 2 1/4 = 2.25 in
Ds = 50 mi per 1/4 in = 200 mi/in

Solution:

Da = (Dm)(Ds)
Da = (2.25 in)(200 mi/in) ; inch unit cancelled out

Da = 450 mi

we've established that one 😛

I know. But i am showing the proper solution. 😛

proper, shmoper...😛

gah 👀 bring on the next one
