Question

Marco left his house and went to the sporting goods store to buy a basketball. He then went to jays house. Together the boys headed to the park along the route shown. How far did Marco travel in all?

Answer 1

The map tells you 1 inch = 0.5 miles.

Multiply each dimension on the map by 0.5 to get the miles, then add them together:

House to Sports store = 2 x 0.5 = 1 mile.

Sports store to Jay's house = 3.75 x 0.5 = 1.875 miles.

Jay's house to park = 1.5 + 0.5 = 2 inches x 0.5 = 1 mile.

Total distance = 1 + 1.875 + 1 = 3.875 miles.

3.875
