Okay so here I go with the simple math again, I need help.
The distance from Boulder City, NV to Santa Fe, NM is around 600 miles. If a map has a scale of 0.3 in for every 30 mi, how far is the scale distance between Boulder City, NV and Santa Fe, NM?
I got 0.015, and that's obviously not the answer. So please help?
