On a map, 2 inches represent an actual distance of 28 miles. If the actual distance

Question

between two cities is 322 miles, how many inches apart will the two cities be on the
map?

Answer 1

To find out how many inches apart the two cities will be on the map, we can set up a proportion.

2 inches represents 28 miles

x inches represents 322 miles

2/28 = x/322

Cross multiplying, we get:

28x = 2 * 322
28x = 644
x = 644 / 28
x = 23

Therefore, the two cities will be 23 inches apart on the map.
