Answer:

The actual distance between the two streets is
(35)/(8) miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that 1 inch on the map corresponds to 2
(1)/(2) miles in reality, we can use the scale to convert the distance on the map to the actual distance. With a distance on the map of 1
(3)/(4) inches, we multiply this by the scale to get the actual distance in miles, which results in
(35)/(8) miles.

Hope this helped! :)
