A map is created of Maricopa County with a scale factor of 1 inch = 2.5 miles. The distance between Phoenix and Fountain Hills is 2.92 inches on the map. Determine the actual distance between the two cities.

The actual distance between Phoenix and Fountain Hills is 7.3 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

We note that the scale factor gives the ratio of the map reading to the actual distance reading

The scale factor of the map is 1 inch = 2.5 miles

The distance between Phoenix and Fountain Hills = 2.92 inches on the map

Let the actual distance between Phoenix and Fountain Hills = D, we have;

D/(2.92 inches) = 2.5 miles/inch

Therefore;

D = 2.92 inches ×  2.5 miles/inch = 7.3 miles

D = 7.3 miles

The actual distance between Phoenix and Fountain Hills = D = 7.3 miles.
