The distance between Gadield and woodville is 320 miles.

How far apart are the citys?

We know that in the map the distance between the wto cities is 16 centimeters, and the scale of the map is 1.6cm equivalen to 32 miles.

To get the actual distance, we need to take the distance in the map, and multiply it by (32/1.6) mi

We will get:

distance = 16*(32/1.6) mi = 320mi

The distance is 320 miles.
