wouldent it just be simple addition? 20x 3 is 60, and .5 is half, and half of twenty is ten, so would the distance be 70 miles? i could be completley wrong, but thats my best guess.

The beauty of math is that it is precise and we don't usually have to guess.
if 1 inch represents 20 miles,
then 3.5 inches represents 3.5*20 or 70 miles
your answer is correct but why make the multiplication so complicated?
just do 3.5 x 20
