87.5 miles
14.0 miles
37.5 miles
70.5 miles

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Jensen stopped at A and planned to stop at B next. He has a map with a scale of 1 inch to 35 miles.

It is clear that 1 inch on map corresponds to 35 miles in actual.

From the map he has, we can see that both places A and B are 2.5 inches apart on map.

Let's assume those are "X" miles away in actual. Then we can use proportions to solve this problem.

1 inch to 35 miles would be same as 2.5 inches to X miles. Mathematically, we can write it as follows :-

1 inch / 35 miles = 2.5 inches / X miles

X/35 = 2.5/1

X=35*2.5

X = 87.5
