Answer:
The actual distance is 120 miles.
The distance between these cities on the map is 90 millimeters.
Step-by-step explanation:
Consider the figure shown below.
10 mm distance on the map is equal to 25 miles of actual distance.
10 mm = 25 miles
1 mm = 2.5 miles ...(1)
The map distance between Toledo and Columbus is 48 millimeters.
Multiply both the sides of the equation 1 with 48.
48×1 mm = 48×2.5 miles
48 mm = 120 miles
The actual distance is 120 miles.
Cincinnati is about 225 miles from Cleveland.
Divide 225 by 2.5
[tex]\dfrac{225}{2.5}=90[/tex]
Hence, the distance between these cities on the map is 90 millimeters.
