Answer:

The actual area of the town is 14 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since you know that the scale is 1 inch:4 miles and that the map shows a town with an area of 3.5 inches, you can expressed this as follows:

Scale: 1 inch:4 miles

map area: 3.5 inches

If the actual area is x, you can say that:

3.5:x=1:4

This would be:

\frac{3.5}{x}=\frac{1}{4}

Now, you can solve for x:

x=(3.5*4)/1

x=14

According to this, the answer is that the actual area of the town is 14 miles.
