Answer 2

6,751.76 miles

Explanation:

Given

distance between Cameron and jonesville = 80 miles

scale on the map is 0.75 inches (10 miles)

To determine the Distance apart of the cities on the map we use a proportion

Therefore

Let x represent the distance apart

0.75 inches/10 miles = 80 miles/ x miles

Cross multiply

0.75x = 80 miles × 10 miles

x = 800 miles/0.75 inches

Convert 0.75 inches to miles = 1.184 × 10-5 mile

Therefore 800miles/1.184 × 10-5 mile

x = 6,751.76 miles
