A map has a scale of 2 inches : 5 miles. What is the actual distance if the map is 1 ft 2 in?

Work Shown:

1 ft = 12 inches

1 ft, 2 inches = 12 inches + 2 inches add 2 inches to both sides

1 ft 2 inches = 14 inches

Now we'll use the scale ratio to help find the answer

(2 inches)/(5 miles) = (14 inches)/(x miles)

2/5 = 14/x

2x = 5*14

2x = 70

x = 70/2

x = 35

The distance between the two locations is 35 miles.
