On a map, 2 inches represents an actual distance of 64 miles. Towns A and B are 608 miles apart. Find the distance between the two towns, in inches, on the map.

The distance in the map is 19 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

On the map. 2 inches represent an actual distance of 64 miles.

The actual distance between town A and town B is equal to 608 miles, we need to divide this distance into groups of 64 miles.

N = 608/64 = 9.5

And each one of those 9.5 groups is represented with 2 inches in the map, then the distance in the map is:

d = 9.5*2 inches = 19 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance between both towns on the map is:

the smallest possible measurement of the width is 14 feet

step-by-step explanation:

let's assume length of parallelogram is 'l'

width of parallelogram is 'w'

the perimeter of a parallelogram must be no less than 40 feet

so, we get

we are given

length of parallelogram is 6 feet

so,

l=6

we can plug it

now, we can solve for w

subtract both sides by 12

divide both sides by 2

and we get

so,

the smallest possible measurement of the width is 14 feet
