Jensen stopped at rest area a along the side of the highway. his map shown below has a scale of 1 inch to 35 miles. jensen planned to stop at rest stop b next. what is the actual distance in miles between the two rest areas

Jensen stopped at A and planned to stop at B next. He has a map with a scale of 1 inch to 35 miles.

It is clear that 1 inch on map corresponds to 35 miles in actual.

From the map he has, we can see that both places A and B are 2.5 inches apart on map.

Let's assume those are "X" miles away in actual. Then we can use proportions to solve this problem.

1 inch to 35 miles would be same as 2.5 inches to X miles. Mathematically, we can write it as follows :-

Hence, actual distance between A and B is 87.5 miles.

i do not know this sorry : (

72 is the answer to this problem
