Words The actual distance is 5 miles per inch of map distance.
Let a represent the actual distance in miles.Let m represent the map distance in inches.
a = 5 ● m
Variable
Equation
a = 5m
a = 5(1.5) or 7.5
Write the equation.
Replace m with 1.5 and multiply.

STATUE OF LIBERTY Auguste Bartholdi created several smaller models of the Statue of Liberty before creating the 152-foot statue that stands in New York Harbor. One such model was only 21 inches tall. What is the scale of this model to the final version? Use the scale to determine the length of the statue’s index finger on the model, which is 8 feet long on the actual statue.
