`315 / 35 = 9 \\ 9 * 2 = 18`
18 inches

Answer 2

`\\ \text{The distance between troy city and Ben city is 315 miles. }\\ \text{And on the map the ratio of distance is, 2 in: 35 miles}\\ \\ \text{Let the distance between the cities in map is x.}\\ \text{We use ratio to solve this problem. so we have}\\ \\ (x)/(315)=(2)/(35)\\ \\ \text{on cross multiplying, we get}\\ \\ x=(2* 315)/(35)\\ \\ \Rightarrow x=(630)/(35)\\ \\ \Rightarrow x=18`

Hence, on the map, the distance between the cities is: 18 in.
