Answer 1

Actual distance between Gladville and Columbus = 144 mi

Explanation:

On map A,

Distance between Riverside and Gladville = 6.8 cm

Scale used → 1 cm = 40 mi

Therefore, actual distance between Riverside and Gladville = 6.8 × 40

= 272 mi

On map B,

Since, actual distance between Riverside and Gladville = 272 mi

Distance between Riverside and Gladville on map = 3.4 cm

Scale used =
`\frac{\text{Distance on map}}{\text{Actual distance}}`

=
`(3.4)/(272)`

=
`(1)/(80)`

Scale used: 1 cm = 80 miles

Distance between Gladville and Columbus = 1.8 cm on map B

By using scale,

Actual distance between Gladville and Columbus = 1.8 × 80

= 144 mi
