Question

If New York is 2 inches from Chicago, what is the distance between the two cities?

Answer 1

Since the picture is giving you the information about the scale equivalence in which

`1inch=557\text{miles}`

use this information to obtain what is 2 inches

`2inches\cdot(557miles)/(1inch)=1,114miles`

the distance between the 2 cities will be 1,114 miles
