To find the actual distance between the towns, we need to use the scale of 1 inch = 20 miles.
If the distance on the map is 4.6 inches, we can multiply it by 20 miles per inch to find the actual distance.
4.6 inches * 20 miles/inch = 92 miles

To find the actual distance between Columbia and Greenville, we need to use the map scale. It states that 1 inch on the map represents 20 miles in reality. We are given that the distance on the map between Columbia and Greenville is 4.6 inches.
To find the actual distance, we can set up a proportion. We know that 1 inch represents 20 miles, so we can set up the following ratio:
1 inch / 20 miles = 4.6 inches / x miles
To solve for x, we can cross multiply:
1 inch * x miles = 4.6 inches * 20 miles
x miles = (4.6 inches * 20 miles) / 1 inch
Simplifying,
x miles = 92 miles.
Therefore, the actual distance between Columbia and Greenville is 92 miles.
