Two towns are 3.5 inches apart on a map the scale of the map is 1 inch = 24 miles how many miles apart are the two towns
It's 24 x 3.5 =84

Well, if the towns on the map are 3.5 inches apart, and each inch on the map represents 24 miles, it seems like these towns have a healthy long-distance relationship going on! That means they're actually 3.5 inches multiplied by 24 miles apart. So, if we do a little bit of calculating, we'll find that the towns are 84 miles apart. Just hope they find a way to navigate that distance in real life!
To find the distance between the two towns in miles, we need to convert the distance on the map, which is given in inches, to miles using the scale provided.
The scale of the map is 1 inch = 24 miles, meaning that each inch on the map represents 24 miles in real life.
Given that the two towns on the map are 3.5 inches apart, we can now calculate the distance between them in miles.
Distance on the map (in inches) × Scale = Distance in real life (in miles)
So, 3.5 inches × 24 miles/inch = 84 miles
Therefore, the two towns are 84 miles apart.
well, 1/2 inch = 12 miles
Add that to the 72 miles represented by 3 inches, and you get 84 miles
or, as a proportion,
x/3.5 = 24/1
