Take it from there.
Take it from there.
1. Determine the scale of the map: In this case, the scale is 1 inch represents 200 miles.
2. Measure the distance between the two cities on the map: In this case, it is given that the distance is 7 inches.
3. Multiply the measured distance on the map by the scale factor: Multiply 7 inches by 200 miles/inch.
Actual Distance = 7 inches × 200 miles/inch
4. Calculate the product:
Actual Distance = 1,400 miles
Therefore, the actual distance between the two cities is 1,400 miles.
