Answer 1

392km

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the map with a scale 2cm = 40km

We are to find the actual distance if the distance between Fargo and Minneapolis is 19.6 centimeters, to do this we can write;

19.6cm = x

Divide both expressions

2/19.6 = 40/x

Cross multiply

2x = 19.6 * 40

x = 19.6 * 20

x = 392km

Hence the actual distance on the mao is 392km
