To Find :-

• What is the actual distance the Patel family will travel by the time they reach Clarksville ?

Answer :-

given that,

→ Smithville to Jonesville distance in map = 3(3/4) inches = (15/4) inches .

given that,

→ (1/2) inch = 4 miles .

so,

→ 1 inch = 8 miles .

then,

→ Distance from Smithville to Jonesville = (15/4) * 8 = 30 miles .

similarly,

→ Jonesville to Clarksville distance in map = 5(1/4) = (21/4) inches .

then,

→ Distance from Jonesville to Clarksville = (21/4) * 8 = 42 miles .
