# 7.10: Map Quest 5

Difficulty Level: At Grade Created by: CK-12

Look at the map and list of facts below. Can you figure out the distances in miles between the cities using a ruler? Can you name the cities using the facts? In this concept we will learn how to read and work with maps.

• Fact 1: Hilton to Time is 20 miles.
• Fact 2: Time to North Shore by way of Hilton is 80 miles.
• Fact 3: Westway to North Shore is 20 miles less than Westway to Raleigh.
• Fact 4: Time to Pepper is 20 miles longer than Pepper to Edmonton.
• Fact 5: Edmonton is 80 miles from Raleigh.

### Guidance

In order to solve the problem above, use the problem solving steps.

• Start by describing what information is given.
• Then, identify what your job is. In these problems, your job will be to figure out where each city is on the map.
• Next, make a plan for how you will solve. In these problems, measure distances with a ruler and use the facts to figure out which city is which.
• Then, solve the problem.
• Finally, check your solution. Verify that the measured distances between the cities work with the facts.

#### Example A

Use your ruler and the key to figure out distances between cities. Use the facts to name the cities.

• Fact 1: Portland to Ellsworth by way of Surrey is 500 miles.
• Fact 2: Surrey is 300 miles from Ellsworth.
• Fact 3: Felton to Dayton is 50 miles less than Felton to Granada.
• Fact 4: Simpson to Dayton round trip is 200 miles.
