Hello there! Your answer would be '<em>the actual distance between the cities is 320 kilometers</em>'.

Okay, so to solve this, we can use unit rates. We know that for every one centimeter we have eighty kilometers. So, whatever we multiply the centimeter value by, we can multiply the kilometer value by the same number and get our answer.

So if the centimeter value is 4, multiply the kilometer value by 4.

80 x 4 = 320

This means that the cities are 320 kilometers apart, and you have your answer!

Hope this helps, and have a great day!

nata0808 [166]

Answer:

The length on the blueprint for an actual length of 65 feet is $16\frac{1}{4}\ inches$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Scale of the blueprint is $\frac{1}{4}\ in=1\ foot$

Length of one side of the house is 65 feet.
