as marc and matt were traveling to san diego for their next basketball meet, they followed ther progress along on a map. The map showed a scale of one inch equaling 30 miles. Their route's total lengh on the map appears to be 3 1/2 inches long. How far will they be traveling to the meet? Show all work and justify your answer.
one inch is 30 and 1/2 is half of a whole number so it basically is 15 since it is half if 30 so to sum up all of the numbers you get a total of 45 miles
The route is 3 1/2 inches long, and one inch equals 30 miles. Multiply 30 by 3 to get 90. Since there is 1/2 left, we need to add 15 to 90 because half of 30 is 15.
