Answer 1

The actual distance between Fairfield Peak to Crater Butte is 2.33 miles.

What is the scale on a map?

The scale on a map is a factor by which the distance between two places is multiplied to represent the actual distance on the map with a shorter value.

In the given problem

3/4 inch = 2 miles

So, 1 inch = 8/3 miles

Since the distance between Fairfield Peak to Crater Butte is represented as 7/8 inch.

So, 7/8 inch = 7/8 * 8/3 =7/3 =2.33 miles.

Therefore, the actual distance between Fairfield Peak to Crater Butte is 2.33 miles.
