Answer:
The actual distance is 240 miles.
Step-by-step explanation:
On a map distance from Springfield to Pleasantville is 6 inch.
Map scale is given as 1/2 in = 20 miles
We have to find the actual distance between Springfield and pleasantville.
∵ 1/2 inch = 20 miles
∴ 1 inch = [tex]\frac{20}{1/2}[/tex] = 20 × 2
∴ 6 inch = 20 × 2 × 6 = 240 miles
Therefore, actual distance between Springfield and pleasantville is 240 miles.
