Answer:

280 miles of actual

Explanation:

Given that:

  • The distance between two cities on the map : 7 inches
  • 5 inch on the map represents 200 miles of actual

<=> 1 inch on the map represents : 200/5 = 40 miles of actual

So the actual distance between the 2 cities is:

7*40 miles of actual

= 280 miles of actual

Hope it will find you well.
