the scale for the map of missouri is 1 in = 30 mi. on the map, the distance from springfield to columbus is about 5.6 in. how far apart are the two cities? round your answer to the nearest mile.

if 1 inch = 30 miles

 thn multiply 30 x 5.6

30 x 5.6 = 168 miles apart

use an equation of ratios to determine the amount of gas needed to fill the tank.

    0.2             0.8

  =    

288.75             x

                                                              231 gal

so, 0.2x = (0.8)(288.75 gal), and x = = 1155 gal.

                                                                0.2

it would take 1155 gal. to fill the tank.

the cost would be

1155 gal         $3

* = $3465   (answer)

      1           1 gal

hope this you
