I see you've uploaded an image that includes a lesson about using scale to find distances. Let's work through it!

The text reads:

**"Develop: Using Scale to Find Distances"**

This map is a scale drawing of the streets in a town. The scale from the town map says:  
**1 inch = 5 miles.**

The task is to use the map scale to determine the distance between two locations on the map, specifically the library and the train station.

### Solution Steps:
1. Measure the distance between the library and the train station on the map using a ruler.
2. Use the given scale \( \text{1 inch} = 5 \text{ miles} \) to convert the measured distance into real-world miles. 

For example, if the distance on the map is 2 inches, the real-world distance would be:
\[
\text{Distance} = 2 \, \text{inches} \times 5 \, \text{miles/inch} = 10 \, \text{miles}
\]

If you provide the measurement (or if you want me to estimate based on the image), I can assist with the calculation.

Would you like more details or further clarification on this?  
Here are five related questions you could explore further:
1. What other units of measurement could be used for scaling besides inches and miles?
2. How can you determine the scale of a map when it's not provided?
3. What would happen if the scale were \( 1 \, \text{inch} = 10 \, \text{miles} \)? How would this change the calculation?
4. How is scale used in real-world applications like architecture or city planning?
5. How could you use this concept to estimate travel time between two locations?

**Tip**: When using a scale, make sure the units on the map match the units you're working with in real life (e.g., miles, kilometers).

The task is to find the real-world distance between the library and the train station using the given map scale: 1 inch = 5 miles.

Learn how to calculate the real-world distance between two locations on a map using a scale factor. This problem focuses on the concepts of measurement conversion and scale, ideal for students in Grades 6-8.
