Answer: 280 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

The actual distance between the two cities will be represented by x. Based on the information given in the question, we can form an equation will be:

5/7 = 200/x

Cross multiply

5 × x = 200 × 7

5x = 1400

x = 1400/5

x = 280

Therefore, the actual distance is 280 miles.
