To find out how far the two cities are actually apart, you need to convert the distance on the map, which is measured in inches, into the real distance, which is measured in miles.

Given that 1 inch on the map represents 13.6 miles in reality, you can use a proportion to solve the problem:

1 inch on the map is equivalent to 13.6 miles in reality.
4.5 inches on the map is equivalent to x miles in reality.

Setting up the proportion:

1 inch / 13.6 miles = 4.5 inches / x miles

To find the value of x (the actual distance), you can cross multiply and solve for x:

1 inch * x miles = 4.5 inches * 13.6 miles

x = (4.5 inches * 13.6 miles) / 1 inch
x = 61.2 miles

Therefore, the two cities are actually 61.2 miles apart.
