Given:
A map shows some cities in the northern United States. The scale of a map is [tex]1 \ inch: 125 \ miles[/tex]
The actual distance between Chicago, IL and Pittsburgh, PA is 375 miles.
We need to determine the distance between the two cities on the map.
Distance between the two cities:
The distance between the two cities on the map can be determined by dividing the actual distance by 125 miles.
Thus, we have;
[tex]Distance=\frac{375}{125}[/tex]
Dividing the terms, we get;
[tex]Distance = 3[/tex]
Thus, the distance between the two cities on the map is 3 inch.
