Answer:
2.88 miles.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : The high school is 3.6 inches from the middle school on a map. Each half inch on the map represents 0.4 mile
To Find: What is the actual distance between the two schools?
Solution:
Scale : [tex]\frac{1}{2} inch = 0.4 mile[/tex]
So, 1 inch = [tex]0.4 \times 2[/tex] = 0.8 miles
Distance between schools = 3.6 inches
Distance between school in miles= [tex]0.8 \times 3.6[/tex]
= [tex]2.88[/tex]
Hence the total distance between schools is 2.88 miles.
