Hi, dear friends and teachers:
The driving distance between Tallahassee and Tampa is 280 miles. If 1/2 an inch on a map represents 40 miles, what is the distance in inches between the two cities?
d= 280 miles
1/2 =0.5 represents 40 miles
d in inches between the two cities?.
I am editing the proportion.
I thought of this anothr way
if 0.5 miles=40 miles
seven 40's=280
and each of these 40's represent =0.5
then 0.5 * 7 =3.5
d=3.5 between the cities.
Would it have been god to set up a proportion, like, quicker?. If affirmative, how to go about setting up the proportion?. Give me a hint. Thanks.
Thanks.
