    144 miles

    Step-by-step explanation:

    The scale of map B is (3.4 cm) / (6.8 cm) = 1/2 that of map A. Then the distance (d) between the cities is ...

    (1.8 cm) / d = (1/2) · (1 cm) / (40 mi)

    Multiplying by d·80 mi, we get ...

    144 mi·cm = d cm

    Dividing by cm, we have ...

    144 mi = d

    The distance from Gladville to Columbus is 144 miles.
