Please help im just a middle schoolor!!!!! The distance between City A and City B is 250 miles. A length of 1.7 feet represents this distance on a certain wall map. City C and City D are 3.74 feet apart on this map. What is the actual distance between City C and City​ D?

Answer:

Distance between City C and City D is 550 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

City A and City B are 250 miles apart with a length of 1.7 feet;  &

City C and City D are x miles apart with a length of 3.74 feet.

To find the distance ( in x miles) between City C and City D, we use the ratio or proportionality concept.

i.e

250 miles = 1.70 ft

x miles =  3.74 ft

By cross multiplying, we get:

(250 * 3.74) = ( x * 1.70)

x = (250 * 3.74)/ 1.70

x = 550 miles.

Thus, the distance between City C and City D is 550 miles
