The scale on hiking a map is 2 inches= 54 yards the distance on the map between bluebird waterfalls and pine peak is 9 inches what is the actual distance between bluebird waterfalls and pine peak?
To find the actual distance between Bluebird Waterfalls and Pine Peak, we need to use the scale on the map.
The scale on the map is given as 2 inches = 54 yards.
If the distance on the map between the two points is 9 inches, we can use proportions to find the actual distance.
Let x be the actual distance between Bluebird Waterfalls and Pine Peak.
We can set up a proportion as follows:
2 inches / 9 inches = 54 yards / x
To solve for x, we cross-multiply:
2 * x = 9 * 54
2x = 486
Divide both sides by 2 to isolate x:
x = 486 / 2
x = 243
Therefore, the actual distance between Bluebird Waterfalls and Pine Peak is 243 yards.
