Respuesta :

Given:

• 2 inches represents 700 miles on the map.

,

• Actual distance between two cities = 3850 miles

Let's find the distance on the map.

Let's first find how many miles 1 inch represent.

We have:

[tex]\frac{700}{2}=350\text{ miles}[/tex]

This means on the map, 1 inch represent 350 miles.

Now, to find the distance between the two cities on the map, we have:

[tex]\frac{3850}{350}=11\text{ inches}[/tex]

Therefore, the distance between the two cities on the map is 11 inches.

ANSWER:

b. 11 inches
