Audrey is planning to drive from City X to City Y. The scale drawing below shows the distance between the two cities with a scale of ¼ inch = 24 miles.
Audrey measures the distance on the map as 2 inches.
To find the actual distance she will have to drive, we can use the scale:
1 inch on the map represents 24 miles in reality, so:
2 inches on the map represents 2 * 24 = 48 miles in reality.
So, the actual distance Audrey will have to drive from City X to City Y is 48 miles.
