Question

On a​ map, 1 inch equals 20 miles. Two cities are 8 inches apart on the map. What is the actual distance between the​ cities?

Answer 1

So you want to find out the distance for both the cities. Since there are 8 inches to both cities, then the answer would be 160 miles since every inch would equal to 20 miles, which is the actual distance.

Hope this helped!
