Amap has a scale of 3.5 inches = 20 kilometers. if the distance between two cities on the map is 4.9 inches, what is the actual distance between the two cities?

The actual distance between the two cities is 28 kilometers

Step-by-step explanation:

A map has a scale of 3.5 inches = 20 kilometers

Distance between two cities on the map = 4.9 inches

We can use the unitary method in this question to get the actual distance between two cities

∵ 3.5 inches on the map = 20 kilometers

∴ 1 inch distance on the map = kilometers

∴ 4.9 inches on the map =

                                         = 28 kilometers

Therefore, the actual distance between the two cities is 28 kilometers.
