The distance between City A and City B is 250 miles. On a certain wall map, this is represented by a length of 1.5 feet. On the map, how many feet would there be between City C
and City D, two cities that are actually 450 miles apart?

Step-by-step explanation:

1.5 feet                   x

       =      

250 miles           450

Multiply both sides by 450

1.5 * 450                  x

       =      

250 miles          

x = 2.7 feet

1 foot = 12 inches

0.7 foot = x

x = 12 * 0.7

x = 8.4 inches

Answer

Either 2.7 feet

or 2 feet 8 inches.
