Answer 1

693 miles

Explanation:

Given that :

Distance between Chicago to Pittsburgh = 462 Mi

On phone :

462 Miles = 2 inches

Using the same scale :

If distance between two cities is 3 inches, how many miles apart are they?

Let distance = d

462 miles = 2 inches

d = 3 inches

Cross multiply

2d = 462 * 3

2d = 1386

d = 1386 / 2

d = 693 miles
