Answer 1

Answer:

$2.1\ in$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The scale of the world globe is equal to

$\frac{13.9}{10,480}\frac{in}{km}= 0.0013\frac{in}{km}$

To find the distance between City C and City D on the globe, multiply the actual distance by the scale

$0.0013\frac{in}{km}*(1,590\ km)=2.1\ in$
