Chapter 6.6, Problem 12E

To determine

To find:The actual distance from the map scale how far can the bike travel in 5 hour

Answer to Problem 12E

The actual distance will be 30 kilometresexpression will be

Explanation of Solution

Given information :

Consider the information provided, the map distance be 6centimeters

Calculation:

Assume the distance on the map be $x$

distance on the map has a scale of 1 centimetre : 5 kilometresbike can travel 24 miles in 2 hour Therefore,

  $\begin{array}{l}\frac{1}{5}=\frac{6}{\text{x}}\\ \text{x = 5}\times \text{6 }\\ \text{x = 30}\end{array}$

Therefore, the actual distance will be 30kilometers
