Answer:

9 inches

Explanation:

Given that,

For the graph, 1/2 inch represents 20 miles.

We need to find the distance between the cities on the map if the actual distance between the two cities is 360 miles.

1/2 inch = 20 miles

1 mile =
((1)/(2))/(20)=0.025\ \text{inches}

For 360 miles, = 0.025 × 360

= 9 inches

Hence, the required answer is 9 inches.
