Answer:

20 miles

Explanation:

On the map:

1 inch = 5 miles

Use the inches, "i" as a variable

Write an equation

1i = 5

Two cities are 4 inches apart on the map

Multiply both sides of the equation by 4

4(1i) = 4(5)

4i = 20

20

The actual distance between the cities is 20 miles

Hope this helps :)
