The scale of the map is 2 inches = 250 miles.
Since the distance from Dallas to Spring is 8 inches on the map, we can set up a proportion to find the actual distance in miles.
Let x be the actual distance from Dallas to Spring in miles.
We have the proportion:
2 inches / 250 miles = 8 inches / x miles
Cross multiplying, we get:
2x = 250 * 8
2x = 2000
x = 2000 / 2
x = 1000
Therefore, the distance from Dallas to Spring is 1000 miles.
