Answer 1

To find the actual distance between the towns, we need to use the scale of 1 inch = 20 miles.

If the distance on the map is 4.6 inches, we can multiply it by 20 miles per inch to find the actual distance.

4.6 inches * 20 miles/inch = 92 miles

Therefore, the actual distance between Columbia and Greenville is 92 miles.
