Final answer:

Using the map scale where one inch represents 100 miles, two cities that are 2 inches apart on the map are 200 miles apart in actual distance.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question asks us to calculate the actual distance between two cities using a map scale where an inch equals 100 miles. If the two cities are 2 inches apart on the map, we can find the real distance by multiplying the number of inches by the number of miles each inch represents. Simply, you would calculate 2 inches * 100 miles/inch, which equals 200 miles.
