12 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that Dale bought a map of his city. It uses a scale from 1 inch to 8 miles. Dale's house and school are 1 1/2 inches apart on the map.

Let us convert 1 1/2 inches to decimal as:

$1\frac{1}{2}=\frac{3}{2}=1.5$

We will use proportions to solve our given problem.

$\frac{\text{Actual length}}{\text{Length on map}}=\frac{8\text{ miles}}{1 \text{ inch}}$

$\frac{\text{Actual length}}{1.5\text{ Inch}}=\frac{8\text{ miles}}{1 \text{ inch}}$

$\frac{\text{Actual length}}{1.5\text{ Inch}}*1.5\text{ Inch}=\frac{8\text{ miles}}{1 \text{ inch}}*1.5\text{ Inch}$

$\text{Actual length}=\frac{8\text{ miles}}{1 }*1.5$

$\text{Actual length}=12\text{ miles}$

Therefore, Dale's house and school are 12 miles apart.
