Question

On the map below, city p and city q are 5.5 centimeters (cm) apart. What is the actual distance between city p and city q? 2cm= 35 miles

Answer 1

Ok so 2cm = 35 miles
Meaning ONE centimeter is 35/2, or, 17.5 miles of actual distance
And half, or 0.5 of a centimeter is 17.5/2 or 35/4, which is 8.75 miles
5 centimeters is 2 + 2 + 1 + 0.5
(35 miles) plus (35 miles) plus (17.5 miles) plus (8.75 miles) which would add up to be 96.25 miles

Answer 2

96.25

Explanation:

5.5/2=2.75

2.75x35=96.25
