Hello, please answer asap, need this done in an hour.

The distance between City A and City B is 500 miles. A length of 1.2 feet represents this distance on a certain wall map. City C and City D are 1.92 feet apart on this map. What is the actual distance between City C and City​ D?

Answer 1

800

Explanation:

First what you need to do is find the scale of magnification, which you can do with 500/1.2. You will get 416.6667 as the scale. You then need to multiply the scale by 1.92, which nets you the actual distance of 800 miles.

Hope this helps!
