Answer:
9 miles
Explanation:
I have to ask here too: are you sure you have this description right ? because cm and miles are usually not used in combination.
but fine.
1 cm <-> 4.5 miles
2 cm <-> ? miles
remember questions like "if 1 apple costs $1.10, how much are 2 apples or 5 or 10 apples ?"
you remember what you had to do ?
pretty common sense : you multiplied the price by the same number that you multiplied the unit count number with. so, in my example, by 2, by 5 and by 10. and you got $2.20, $5.50 and $11.00 as prices.
so, what do you think we need to do to calculate the miles that are residents by 2 cm on the map ?
right ! we need to multiply by 2 - because 2×1 = 2.
so, 4.5 × 2 = 9 miles
yes, if 1 cm on the map stands for 4.5 actual miles, then 2 cm stand for 2×4.5 = 9 actual miles.
