How can you use a map scale to
help you find actual distances?
Answer:
1. Find the map scale.
2. Mark the length of the line segment (usually an inch) shown on a
piece of paper.
3. Put the marked paper at one starting point on the map and keep
moving it to see how many of those segments fit until you reach the 2nd
place.
4. Multiply that amount times the amount of the real distance. For
example, if it takes 3 segments to get from California to CT, and each
segment is 1,000 miles, then the real distance is 3 X 1, 000+ 3, 000
miles.
