Question

A map with a scale of 2:in:350 mi shows two cities to be 6 inches apart. How many miles apart are the cities?

Answer 1

1050miles.

Explanation:

since every 2 inches=350 miles, then 6 inches= 3(350miles)

since 6/2=3.

or you can think of it this way:

there are 3 2-inches in 6 inches, and every 2 inches, it's 350s miles.

350+350+350=1050miles.
