Given:
The scale on a map is 1 inch = 14 miles.
The measurement between two cities on the map is 7 inches.
To find:
The actual distance between the two cities.
Solution:
We have,
1 inch = 14 miles
Multiply both sides by 7.
7×1 inch = 7×14 miles
7 inch = 98 miles
The measurement between two cities on the map is 7 inches and using the given scale, we get 7 inch = 98 miles.
Therefore, actual distance between the two cities is 98 miles.
