The above diagram shows 4 island countries in the Marina Ocean. Each inch on the map represents a distance of 500 miles. The capital of each island country is marked with a star.

A travel group leader takes a group of tourists from the capital of Green Island to the capital of Orange Island and back again. How long is the tour in miles?

1 answer

The distance from Green Island to Orange Island is 6 inches on the map, which represents a distance of 6 * 500 = 3000 miles.

Therefore, the total distance traveled on the tour from Green Island to Orange Island and back again is 3000 * 2 = 6000 miles.
