Answer 1

The actual distance is 120 miles.

The distance between these cities on the map is 90 millimeters.

Explanation:

Consider the figure shown below.

10 mm distance on the map is equal to 25 miles of actual distance.

10 mm = 25 miles

1 mm = 2.5 miles ...(1)

The map distance between Toledo and Columbus is 48 millimeters.

Multiply both the sides of the equation 1 with 48.

48×1 mm = 48×2.5 miles

48 mm = 120 miles

The actual distance is 120 miles.

Cincinnati is about 225 miles from Cleveland.

Divide 225 by 2.5

`(225)/(2.5)=90`

Hence, the distance between these cities on the map is 90 millimeters.
