On a certain map that is drawn to scale, 1.5 centimeters is equivalent to 2 miles. If two cities are 35 miles apart, how many centimeters apart should they be on this map?

Answer 1

26.25 centimeters apart

1.5cm = 2mi

3cm = 4mi

4.5cm = 6mi

6cm = 8mi

7.5cm = 10mi

9cm = 12mi

10.5 = 14mi

12cm = 16mi

13.5cm = 18mi

15cm = 20mi

24cm = 32mi

25.5 = 34mi

1.5÷2=75
