On a map, the scale is 1 inch = 125 miles. What is the actual distance between the two cities if the map distance is 2 3/4 inches?

There is a ratio of
1 : 125

And we need to get to

2 3/4 : x

so to get from 1 to 2 3/4 we would multiply by 2 3/4. So simply, we would just need to multiply 125 by 2 3/4 as well.

125(2 3/4) = 343 3/4 or 343.75 miles
