Melinda has a map of her city the map uses a scale of 1 inch equals 8 miles when does house is 1 1/2 inches from the library on the map how far apart with her house in the library be on the map if the scale is 1 inch equals 6 miles

So, the house is 12 miles away from the library because 1 1/2*8 is 12.  Now, Just divide 12 by the new rate, 6, to get 2.  Your answer is 2 boxes away.
