Amaps key shows that every 5 inches on the map represents 200 miles of actual distance. suppose the distance 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

Hello there, and thank you for posting your question here on

Short 280 miles.

Why?

You can find this out by finding out how much 1 in is by dividing 200 by 5. (200 / 5 ==> 40) So 1 in = 40 miles. Now, we multiply that by 7, so we can find out how much 7 in would be. (7 * 4 ==> 280) 7 inches on the map represents 280 miles.

Hope this helped you! ♥
