On a map of the United States the line from Portland, Oregon, to Twin Falls, Idaho, is 11 centimeters long. If the scale of the map is 2 centimeters to 100 miles, how far is it from Portland to Twin Falls?

Answer:

using the information we have we can see that each mile centimeter is 50 miles. 11 x 50 is 550 so that is your answer

550 miles

Not sure what to do about Oregon and Idaho but the 2/100 gives you a 50 unit rate 50x11= 550
