Map scale worksheet for students to calculate distances between houses using a provided ruler and scale.

Let's solve the problem step by step using the map and the scale provided.

Map Scale:

- 1 unit = 5 miles
- The ruler at the bottom is in units (from 0 to 8), so we can use it to measure distances between houses on the map.

We'll use a ruler (or estimate based on the grid) to find the number of units between each pair of houses, then multiply by 5 to get the actual distance in miles.
