On a map of the United States, the distance between two cities is 2 centimeters. The map uses the scale, 0.5 cm = 80 miles. What is the distance between the same two cities on a different map that uses a scale 1 cm = 100 miles?

On the first map the distance is 320 miles because 2cm divided by 4 equal 0.5 cm so that means you would have to multiply 80 time four. The second maps distance would be 200 miles because 2cm divided by 1cm equals 2 so you would have to multiply 100 miles times two.

Answer - 1st map = 320 miles

2nd map = 200 miles

Ist map 320 miles

2nd 200 miles
