Question

Katarina drew a map to plot her running path as shown below.

A running path is 0.5 + 2.2 + 0.9 + 3.2 inches long.

If the total distance that she ran is 11.56 miles, how many miles does 1 inch on her map represent? Round to the nearest tenth if necessary.
0.4 miles
0.6 miles
1.7 miles
2.1 miles

Answer 1

so like a first step assume these numbers of 0.5 + 2.2 + 0.9 + 3.2 = ?

after you get this result so just use the rule of 3 simple and write in this way

0.5 + 2.2 + 0.9 + 3.2 = ? inches mean 11,56 miles
1 in mean x miles and cross multiplie so calcule the x value

x = (1*11,56)/(0.5 + 2.2 + 0.9 + 3.2 )= ?

hope helped understandably easy
