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
