Answer:
9 miles.
Step-by-step explanation:
We have been given that Yi is told that the item that she wants to buy is still available at a store that is 3/4 inch on a map from her current location. The scale of the map is 1 inch= 12 miles.
To find the actual distance between Yi and store we will multiply 3/4 by 12 as:
[tex]\text{The distance between Yi and store}=\frac{3}{4}\text{ inch}\times \frac{\text{12 miles}}{\text{inch}}[/tex]
[tex]\text{The distance between Yi and store}=\frac{3}{4}\times \text{12 miles}[/tex]
[tex]\text{The distance between Yi and store}=3\times \text{3 miles}[/tex]
[tex]\text{The distance between Yi and store}=9\text{ miles}[/tex]
Therefore, Yi is 9 miles away from the store.
