A map's shows that every 5 inches on the map represents 200 miles of actual distance. Suppose the binstance between two cities on the map is 7 inches. What is the actual distance between the two cities? Write the rule you used to find the actual distance
200/5 = 40
1 inch = 40 miles
7 inches = _______ miles
280 miles
2.5 cm
(2 3 4 5 ) = rule add 1
( 7 0 0 200) = times 2?
I don't now what to times for the under neath part?
To find the actual distance between the two cities, we can use the given scale on the map. The rule we will use is:
Actual Distance = Scale Factor × Map Distance
In this case, the scale factor is 200 miles per 5 inches, which can be simplified to 40 miles per inch.
The map distance between the two cities is given as 7 inches, so we can substitute these values into the rule:
Actual Distance = 40 miles/inch × 7 inches
Calculating this, we find:
Actual Distance = 280 miles
Therefore, the actual distance between the two cities is 280 miles.
