The scale from a map to actual distance is 2.5 cm to 620 mi. The distance on the map between Chicago and Boston is about 3.5 cm.
1 answer:
Answer: 868 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: The scale from a map to actual distance is 2.5 cm to 620 miles.
i.e. 1 cm on map =
If the distance on the map between Chicago and Boston is about 3.5 cm.
Then, the actual distance between them =
Hence, the approximate distance between Chicago and Boston = 868 miles.

That would be written as:
And the step-by-step equation would be:
→ we take the 2 to the right side of the equation and do the IO*
→we solve for
→ final answer
*Ps - IO is not an existing term and stands for inverse operation. In this case, because when we take to 2 to the right side of the equation (the 2 is a power) it'll have to turn into a square root (because exponents and roots are inverse operations)
