Randy is drawing a map of the state of Virginia. From east to west, the greatest distance across the state is about 430 miles. From north to south, the greatest distance is about 200 miles.

Part A:

Randy is using a map scale of 1 inch: 24 Miles. Find the length of the map from the east to west and the length from the north to south. Round your answers to the nearest tenth.

Map Length from east to west:

Map Length from north to south.

Part B:

The length between two cities on Randy's map is 9 inches. What is the actual distance between the cities in miles? Show work and reasoning.

Part C:

About how many minutes will it take for an airplane traveling at a speed of 573 miles per hour to fly from east to west across the widest part of Virginia? Show work and reasoning.

Reflection: Think back to the plan you developed for Part B during the pre-write section. Now that you have had time to work out the problems and to review the process, does the plan you developed match the work you completed? Explain how creating the plan helped in solving the problem. If your plan did not match the work you completed, determine if you need to adjust the plan or adjust your work.
