Answer:
280 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
It is given that :
Scale : 1.25 inches = 50 miles
In the map the distance between Piedmont and Tulsa is = 3.5 inches
So the actual distance between Piedmont and Tulsa in miles is given by :
1.25 inches = 50 miles
So, 3.5 inches = [tex]$\frac{50 \times 3.5}{1.25}$[/tex] miles
= 140 miles.
So when we go from Piedmont to Tulsa, it is 140 miles and we go back from Tulsa to Piedmont, it is another 140 miles.
Therefore, total distance = 140 + 140
= 280 miles
