Answer 1

Answer:

650 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Hey there! Nice question.

It is given that if distance is 1 inch  in map, actual distance is 500 miles.

So, if it is 0.5 inches on map, actual distance is (0.5 * 500) miles = 250 miles.

So that means you just need to multiply the distance on map with 500 to get actual distance.

So, distance between City A and City C = 1,3 inches on map.

Therefore, actual distance  between City A and City C =1.3 * 500 = 650 miles.

Hope you got it
