Answer: 6 inches

Explanation:

From the question, we are informed that a map in Connecticut is drawn to a scale where 2 inches on the map represents 35 miles.

If Greenwich and stonington are 105 miles from each other, to calculate their distance on the map will be:

Since 2 inches represent 35 miles, then: 1 inch = 35miles/2 = 17.5 inches.

Since 1 inch = 17.5 inches;

105 inches will then be: 105inches/17.5 inches = 6 inches

Therefore, 6 inches represent 105 miles.
