On a map, 1 inch equals 450 miles. Two cities are 635 miles apart. Approximately how far apart are the cities on the map?
A. 0.7 in.
O
B. 1.4 in.
C. 1.5 in.
D. 2 in.
D is wrong because 2 inches would equal 900. So, you're down to B or C. Multiply 450×1.4= 630. 450×1.5= 675. 630 is closer to 635, therefore it is the answer.
