Given:
On a map to cities are about 50 mm apart.
Scale is 1 cm equals 15.5 miles.
To find:
The distance between two cities.
Step-by-step explanation:
We have,
1 cm = 15.5 miles
It means
10 mm = 15.5 miles [1 cm = 10 mm]
Now,
10 mm on a map = 15.5 miles
1 mm on a map = miles
= 1.55 miles
50 mm on a map = 50 × 1.55 miles
= 77.5
Therefore, the two cities are 77.5 miles apart.
