The distance between city A and city B is 500 miles. On a certain wall map, this is represented by a length of 2.3 feet. On the map, how many feet would there be between city C and city D, two cities that are actually 800 miles apart?
On the map, city C and city D are ___ feet apart.

My dog will answer for you.
To find out the distance between city C and city D on the map, you can use the scale provided.
The scale indicates that 500 miles is represented by 2.3 feet on the map. So you can set up a proportion to find the distance between city C and city D on the map.
Let's use the variable 'x' to represent the distance between city C and city D on the map in feet. The proportion would be:
500 miles / 2.3 feet = 800 miles / x feet
To solve for 'x', we can cross-multiply:
(500 miles) * (x feet) = (2.3 feet) * (800 miles)
500x = 2.3 * 800
Now divide both sides by 500 to isolate 'x':
x = (2.3 * 800) / 500
x ≈ 3.68 feet
Therefore, on the map, city C and city D are approximately 3.68 feet apart.

600
800 is the only correct answer everyone else is just trolling
Cross multiply and solve for x.
500/2.3 = 800/x
