Answer:
Theo will drive 240 miles to make that trip.
Step-by-step explanation:
The given scale on the map is 3 centimeters per 50 miles.
If distance between New York City (NY) and Washington DC is 14.4 centimeters then we have to calculate the actual distance in miles to make a trip.
We can solve this question by unitary method.
∵ 3 centimeters on the map = 50 miles
∴ 1 centimeter on the map = [tex]\frac{50}{3}[/tex] miles
∴ 14.4 centimeters on the map = [tex]\frac{(50)(14.4)}{5}[/tex]
= 240 miles
Therefore, Theo have to drive 240 miles.
