On a highway map, 1 inch represents 45 miles. If the distance on the map is 3.2 inches, how far is the actual distance?

45 miles
54 miles
112 miles
144 miles

The correct answer is: 144 miles

To determine the actual distance represented by 3.2 inches on the map, it's essential to use the given conversion rate of 1 inch equaling 45 miles. By multiplying the distance on the map (3.2 inches) by the number of miles each inch represents (45 miles), you obtain the actual distance. The calculation can be set up as follows: Actual distance = Distance on the map × Miles per inch Actual distance = 3.2 inches × 45 miles/inch Actual distance = 144 miles Therefore, the calculation confirms that 3.2 inches on the map translates to an actual distance of 144 miles. Understanding and applying the scale provided on the map is crucial in solving these types of problems effectively.
