It is 12 miles from house to school
Solution:
Given that, Jeff wants to know how many miles it is from his house to school
On a map, the scale is 0.5 inches = 2 miles
His house island school are 3 inches apart on the map
So, from the given scale,
0.5 inches = 2 miles
Distance between school and house in map = 3 inches
Therefore,
0.5 inches = 2 miles
Muliply both sides by 6
[tex]0.5 \times 6\ inches = 6 \times 2\ miles\\\\3\ inches = 12\ miles[/tex]
Thus, it is 12 miles from house to school
