The Patel family looks at a map to plan their family vacation. They plan to travel from Smithville to Jonesville, which are 334 3 3 4 inches apart on the map. Then they plan to travel from Jonesville to Clarksville, which are 514 5 1 4 inches apart on the map. The scale on the map is 12 1 2 inch equals 4 miles. What is the actual distance the Patel family will travel by the time they reach Clarksville?

282.63 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

A scale drawing is a reduced form in terms of dimensions of an original image / building / object

the scale drawing is usually reduced at a constant dimension

scale of the drawing = original dimensions / dimensions of the scale drawing

Distance from Smithsville to Clarksville = distance from  Smithville to Jonesville + distance from Jonesville to Clarksville

distance from  Smithville to Jonesville = (334 x 4) / 12 = 111. 3 miles

distance from Jonesville to Clarksville =  (514 x 4) / 12 = 171.33

111.3 + 171.33 = 282.63
