To find the distance traveled on the tour, we need to calculate the distance between the capitals of Green Island and Orange Island, and then multiply that by 2 since the tour involves going from Green Island to Orange Island and back.
Let's first find the distance between the capitals of Green Island and Orange Island:
- Green Island's capital to Orange Island's capital: 5 inches
- 5 inches x 400 miles per inch = 2000 miles
Now, to find the total distance of the tour:
- Round trip from Green Island's capital to Orange Island's capital and back again = 2000 miles x 2 = 4000 miles
Therefore, the total distance of the tour is 4000 miles.
The above diagram shows 4 island countries in the Marina Ocean. Each inch on the map represents a distance of 400 miles. The capital of each island country is marked with a star.
