Answer 2

Given: Keshawn 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 = 5 miles.

Let Z be the actual distance between the cities

$\frac{5 miles}{\frac{1}{4}inch } =Z miles$

Then $Z=\frac{5}{4}$

$Z=1.25$

The distance between the two cities is 1.25 miles.
