Concept explainers
Here’s a look at a map of the east side of Dubuque, Iowa. It shows a driving path from a casino on the river to a golf course on the other side. According to the maps app on my phone, the driving distance is 3.0 miles. We’re most interested in the graphic at the bottom left, which indicates that 1 inch on the map (measure if you don’t believe me) corresponds to 2,000 feet in real life.
If we looked at a satellite photo at the same scale as this map, do you think we could see any boats on the river? Answer yes or no and explain your reasoning.
