The distance between the cities is 280 miles. The rule is y = 40x, where x is the distance in inches on the map and y is the distance in miles.
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1:
The map's key shows that 5 inches on the map equal 200 miles of actual distance.
5 inches on the map = 200 miles of actual distance,
if we divide both sides by 5, we get;
1 inch on the map = 40 miles of actual distance.
Step 2:
If x is the distance on the map in inches and y is the actual distance in miles,
y = 40x.
If the map distance 7 inches, x = 7.
Substituting, x =7 in the equation, .
So the actual distance between the cities is 280 miles.
