Some students are preparing to drive from Austin, Texas to Orlando, Florida for Spring Break. They look on a map that shows 1/2 inch equaling 100 miles. The distance on the map is about 5 1/2 inches. About how many miles apart are the two cities?

Answer:550
Step-by-step explanation:
1 inch = 100 miles
5*100 = 500
1/2 * 100 = 50
500+50 = 550
So the cities are 550 miles apart
1 inch = 100 miles
5*100 = 500
1/2 * 100 = 50
500+50 = 550
So the cities are 550 miles apart
