The distance between City A and City B is 500 miles. A length of 1.4 feet represents this distance on a certain wall map. City C and City D are 2.52 feet apart on this map. What is the actual distance between City C and City D?
The actual distance between City C and City D is
_____ miles.
To find the actual distance between City C and City D, we need to use the given scale on the map.
The scale is: 1.4 feet represents 500 miles.
We are given that City C and City D are 2.52 feet apart on this map.
Using the scale, we can set up a proportion based on the given information:
1.4 feet / 500 miles = 2.52 feet / x miles
We can cross-multiply to solve for x:
1.4 feet * x miles = 500 miles * 2.52 feet
x = (500 miles * 2.52 feet) / 1.4 feet
x = 900 miles
Therefore, the actual distance between City C and City D is 900 miles.
500/1.4 = d/2.52
Solve for d.
thank you
Welcome
X=900
Answer:
D=900
