Since you have asked the answer for part (c) only, here is the answer:

Answer:

The distance from Saugerties to Catskill would be 3 inches on this map.

Step-by-step explanation:

On the given map, the distance between Saugerties and Kingston is 4 inches and the scale is 1 inch = 2.5 miles.

To calculate the actual distance in miles between Saugerties and Kingston, consider the given scale:

1 inch ---------- 2.5 miles

4 inches ------ x miles

Cross multiplying:

1x = 2.5 x 4

x = 10 miles

The actual distance between Saugerties and Kingston is 10 miles.

On another map, the distance between Saugerties and Kingston is 2 inches. Which means the scale is 2 inches = 10 miles. So 1 inch = 10/2 = 5 miles

The scale on the other map is 1 inch = 5 miles.

Catskill is 15 miles from Saugerties (given in the previous part). So on the map:

1 inch -------- 5 miles

y inch ------- 15 miles

Cross multiplying:

15 = 5y

y = 15/5

y = 3 inches.

The distance from Saugerties to Catskill would be 3 inches on this map.
