To find the actual distance between the two towns, we need to use the scale which tells us that 1 inch represents 20 miles.
If 1 inch represents 20 miles, then 6 1/5 inches would represent 6 1/5 times 20 miles.
To multiply 6 1/5 by 20, we first convert the mixed number 6 1/5 to an improper fraction.
6 1/5 = (5*6 + 1)/5 = 31/5
Now, we can multiply 31/5 by 20:
(31/5) * 20 = 620/5
Simplifying the fraction, we have:
620/5 = 124
Therefore, the actual distance between the two towns is 124 miles.
The answer is 124 miles.
