Dreamey · Answer 1

Answer: the answer is 200 because its 4 in and one in is 50 so 1*4=4 and 50*4=200

Carter Carrillo · Answer 2

200 Miles

Step-by-step explanation:

This representation of map distance is known as scale. Maps are made to scale. In this situation the map is made in a 1:50 scale. Without a scale it is not possible to make a map.

1 inch of the map represents 50 actual miles

So, 4 inches would be

4*50 = 200 miles

∴ So, two towns that are 4 inches apart on the map are actually 200 Miles apart.
