Answer 1

Answer: 60 miles

Explanation:

On a map, Indy and Fort Wayne are 19 centimeter apart while Kokomo and Indy are 9.5 cm apart on the map.

In real life, Indy and Fort Wayne are actually 120 miles apart, the distance between Indy and Kokomo in real life would then be:

= 120/2

= 60 miles

Indy and Kokomo are 60 miles apart in real life.
