Answer:

449 miles

Explanation:

The cities shown on the map lie approximately in a straight line.

Let Provo be P, Albuquerque be A and Carlsbad be C.

Given:

Distance between Albuquerque and Carlsbad(AC) =231 miles

Distance between Carlsbad and Provo(CP)= 680 miles

To find:

Distance from Albuquerque, New Mexico, to Provo,Utah.

AP = ?

Solution:

We can find the distance of AP by subtracting distance of CP by distance of AC


\sf AP = CO - AC

Substitute the value


\sf AP = 680-231


\sf AP = 449 miles

Therefore,

The distance between Albuquerque, New Mexico, and Provo, Utah is approximately 449 miles.
