Answer:

  1. 765 mi
  2. 867 mi
  3. 459 mi
  4. 408 mi
  5. total: 2499 mi

Explanation:

The estimated mileage is found by multiplying the map scale by the map distance:

#1: (204 mi/cm)(3.75 cm) = 765 mi

The last of your attachments correctly shows the mileage for each of the distances you have identified on the map.

(Please note that the map is actually showing Springfield, IL. The location of Chicago is at the south end of Lake Michigan, not in the middle of IL. Perhaps the grid incorrectly lists Chicago instead of Springfield.)

Of course, the total distance is the sum of the distances of the legs of the trip:

765 +867 +459 +408 = 2499 . . . . miles total distance
