As a surveyor, you are a member of a team working to correct errors on a property map. According to the map, the northwest corner of the property is located 96.5 feet from the road. You measure the northwest corner of the property as 97 feet, 3 inches from the road. What is the difference in the measurements? 2 inches 3 inches 8 inches 9 inches

Solution

Actual distance = 96.5 feet
But 1 foot = 12 inches
so, actual distance in inches= 96.5 * 12
Actual distance =1158 inches

The measured distance = 97 feet 3 inches
97 feet = 97*12 = 1164
So, 97 ft 3 inch = 1164 + 3 = 1167 inches

Difference is :
1167 - 1158
9 inches ----> ANSWER
