To find the actual distance between the towns, we need to use the given map scale.

According to the map scale, 1 inch on the map represents 30 miles in reality.

So, if the distance between Greenville and Charleston on the map is 4.5 inches, the actual distance between the towns would be:

4.5 inches * 30 miles/inch = 135 miles.

Therefore, the actual distance between the towns is 135 miles.
