On a map, 2 inches represents an actual distance of 28 miles. If the actual distance between two cities is 322 miles, how many inches apart will the cities be on the map?

First, we need to set up a proportion to find the scale factor:

2 inches = 28 miles
x inches = 322 miles

Cross multiply to solve for x:

2 * 322 = 28 * x
644 = 28x

Now, divide by 28 to solve for x:

x = 644 / 28
x = 23

Therefore, the cities will be 23 inches apart on the map.
