Answer 1

87.5 miles

Explanation:

35 + 35 + 17.5 = 87.5

Let's break it down into two parts. So each inch is 35 miles and we have 2.5 miles. We're going to break it down into the wholes, and the half. We're going to start with the 2 and get to the .5 later.

in = inches m = miles

1 in = 35 m

2 in = 35 m + 35 m = 70 m

Now let's move on to the .5

So, since one whole inch is 35 miles, a half of the inch is going to equal half of 35.

35 m ÷ 2 = 17.5 m

Now all we need to do is add the two things we came up with together

17.5 m + 70 m = 87.5 m

Answer 2

Since it's a scale factor of 1 inch to 35 miles and theres 2.5 inches between A and B, if we multiply 2.5 by 35 we get 87.5 miles.

D is the correct answer.
