The scale on a map is going to to inch represents 8 miles. If two cities are two one over two inches apart on the map how far are they in reality
If one inch on the map represents 8 miles, and the cities are two one over two inches apart on the map, then the distance between the cities in reality would be:
2.5 (2 1/2) inches * 8 miles/inch = 20 miles.
Therefore, the cities are 20 miles apart in reality.
