Answer 1

On a map. 1 inch equals 14.7 miles

1 inch = 14.7 miles

Two cities are 3.5 inches apart on the map

Distance between two cities = 3.5 inches

`\begin{gathered} \text{ 1 inch = 14.7 miles} \\ \text{ Then for 3.5 inches in miles : Multiply 3.5}*14.7\text{ } \\ 3.5\text{ inches=3.5}*14.7\text{ miles} \\ 3.5\text{ inches=}51.45\text{ miles} \end{gathered}`

So, the distance between two cities is 51.45 miles

Answer : 51.45 miles
