Given that the map of the United states has a scale where,


3\text{inches}=50\text{miles}

If the distance between the states is 400 miles, then the distance between them on the map will be


\frac{3\text{inches}}{50\text{miles}}*400miles

Simplify


\frac{3\text{inches}}{50\text{miles}}*400miles=24\text{inches}

Hence, the answer is 24 inches.
