Answer 1

To find the actual distance from Old Faithful to Canyon, we need to use the scale on the map.

The scale is 1 cm = 9.8 miles.

Let's say Jennifer measures a distance of 2.3 cm on the map.

To find the actual distance, we can multiply the measured distance on the map by the scale.

Actual distance = Measured distance on map * Scale

Actual distance = 2.3 cm * 9.8 miles/cm

Actual distance = 22.54 miles

Therefore, the actual distance from Old Faithful to Canyon is 22.54 miles.

So the correct answer is A22.54 miles.
