Question

A map of Brunswick County has a scale of 1.5 inches = 5 mile. If the actual Distance from Lawrenceville to Brodnax is 10 miles, what is the distance on the map?

Answer 1

The distance on the map is 3 inches. We know 5 is half of 10 so we multiple 5 by 2 and get 10. Now we do the same thing to the 1.5 inches. 1.5*2=3.
