The answer is 27 mi; 42 mi

Step-by-step explanation:

The scale is the relationship that exists between the magnitudes of a drawing and the actual dimensions.

On the other side, in the image you can see too that the distance from New Wilmington to Mercer is 1 in and the distance from Mercer to Sharon is also 1.25 in. So to calculate the distance from New Wilmington to Sharon through Mercer you must add the distance New Wilmington to Mercer and from Mercer to Sharon: 1 in + 1.25 in = 2.25 in. Since the scale is 1 in: 12 mi, then you can apply a simple rule of three:

If 1 in of the drawing represents 12 mi in real dimensions, what is the real dimension of 2.25 in?

$\frac{2.25 in* 12 mi}{1 in}$

⇒ 27 mi

On the other side, in the image you can see too that the distance from New Wilmington to Volant is 1.75 in and the distance from Volant to Sharon is also 1.75 in. So to calculate the distance from New Wilmington to Sharon through Volant you must add the distance New Wilmington to Volant and from Volant to Sharon: 1.75 in + 1.75 in = 3.5 in. Since the scale is 1 in: 12 mi, then you can apply a simple rule of three:

If 1 in of the drawing represents 12 mi in real dimensions, what is the real dimension of 3.5 in?

$\frac{3.5 in* 12 mi}{1 in}$

⇒ 42 mi

Option A. 51miles, 45 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance between New Wellington to Sharon through Mercer is given as

Distance between New Wellington to Mercer + Distance between Mercer to Sharon

= 2 + 2.25

= 4.25 in.

Now we have been given the conversion formula as

1 in = 12 miles

So 4.25 in. will be = 12×4.25 miles

= 51 miles

Therefore, actual distance from New Wilmington to Sharon via Mercer is 51 miles.

Now we have to calculate the actual distance between New Wilmington to Sharon through Volant.

Distance between New Wilmington to Volant = 1 in.

and distance between Volant to Sharon = 2.75 in.

Distance between New Wilmington to Sharon via Sharon = 2.75 + 1 = 3.75 in.

Now we will use conversion table to get the actual distance.

∵ 1 in. distance = 12 miles

∴ 3.75 in distance = 12×3.75 = 45 miles

Therefore, Option A. 51 miles and 45 miles is the answer.

1) New Wilmington-> Mercer: 1.25in
Mercer -> Sharon: 1.5in
-> in total 2.75in
scale 1 in:12 mi

->in total scaled: 2.75*12 mi=24+9mi=33mi

2) New Wilmington-> Volant: 1.25in
Volant -> Sharon: 2in
-> in total 3.25in
scale 1in:12mi

->in total scaled: 3.25*12 mi=36+3mi=39mi

so the answer is B) 33 mi; 39 mi
