The scale for a map is 20 miles =1/2 inch. The distance between two towns on the map is 3 and 3/4 inches. What is the actual distance between these towns?

65

Step-by-step explanation:

iIf 20miles=1/2 inches then you would have to multiply how many times you have to add 1/2 to get 3 and 3/4. So in this case 1/2 + 1/2 +1/2 +1/2 + 1/2 + 1/2 +1/2 + 1/2(1/2). Then you multiply by the same number. 20 (3 1/4)=65

1 x=22.52

2: 65/39=604+39x

65x-39x=604

26x=604

x=604/26

×=23.23
