Question

Dallas, Texas is 800 miles from Chicago, Illinois. How far apart would these cities appear on a map with a scale of 1 in = 40 miles?

Answer 1

Answer:

20 in

Explanation:

Because you are given that they are 800 miles apart, and the scale is 40 miles per inch, you simply divide 800 by 40 to get the 20 inches they are apart on the map.
