What is the distance between the mound and plate in little league?

Dear Joe,
I believe that that pitching distance is 45 feet, but that is only on recollection. Nevertheless, this figure does make sense; if one figures little scale has scales down their base paths to 60 feet, reducing its size by approximately 1.5, it also makes sense that their pitching distance would be reduced by the same amount (60/1.5), which yields a figure of 40 feet.

Therefore, my guess would place the pitching distance at 40-45 feet on a diagonal from home plate.
