Two cities, Ashville and Boulder, are 2.5 inches apart on a map. A third city, Wellspring, is
located exactly halfway between Ashville
and Boulder. If the map uses a scale of 0.5
inch = 15 miles, find the actual distance from
Wellspring to Boulder.

The distance between W and B is 18.75 mi.

Step-by-step explanation:

2.5 inches converts to

 2.5 in        15 mi

* = 37.5 mi

     1             1 in

Half of this distances places us at the midpoint between W and B:

 37.5 mi

= 18.75 mi

       2

r and t.

both are 64 degrees.
