Joshua wanted to know the distance between two cities. The scale on the map was 1/2 in = 10 km. The distance between the cities on the map was 2 1/4 in. What was the actual distance between the cities?

Step-by-step explanation:

remark : it is very unusual for a map to mix two measurement norms. they are normally either fully in the American or fully in the metric system.

but let's do the exercise.

the scale says 1/2 in = 10 km

but our measurement on the map brought us quarter inches.

so,

1/2 in = 2/4 in = 10 km

therefore

1/4 in = 10/2 = 5 km

now,

2 1/4 = 9/4 in

this is 9 times 1/4.

therefore, the distance between the 2 cities is

9 × 5 = 45 km.
