PLEASE HELP ME


A map has a scale of
2 in. = 18 mi. If you measured the distance between two cities to
be 16 in. on the map, how many miles would it actually be?

Answer:

it would be 144 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

We start by a ratio of map to mile =      2:18

if we see that the map distance is 16,   16:?

We divide 16 by 2 to get 8, so we enlarge the 2, 8 times, and we get 16

the 18, also has to be enlarged, so 18x8 = 144
It will be 144 miles
