Answer:
City A and B are 122.5 miles apart on your map.
Step-by-step explanation:
First let's gather up the information:
Their map: 1 inch=30 miles
Your map: 2 inches-35 miles
Their map: 7 inches across
What about yours????
Solving the answer:
First let's find how far City A and City B are far across.
So there map is 7 inches across......
and 1 inch=30 miles
so.....
7 multiplied by 30= 210 miles from City A to City B
But that is not the answer
We have to find how far are City A and City B on YOUR map. (not their's)
so....
since there is 7 inches between
and 2 inches=35 miles
so...
2 multiplied by 3=6 inches
that 1 inch is going to be a 0.5 in this case
6+0.5=6.5 inches across
so City A and City B are 6.5 inches across
but we have to find it in miles
but..
we have to find the groups since this is by 2 inches
so..
7 divided by 2=3.5 inches
so..
since 2 inches=35 miles
35 times 3.5=
122.5 miles apart from City A and City B
It is mostly common sense if you actually think about it.
Hope I helped you find the answer to your question!!! ^_^
