1a. Did you know Chillicothe was once the capital of Ohio? The distance from Chillicothe to the current capital, Columbus, is 48 miles. Using the scale on the map below, how many centimeters apart are the two cities? Show how you set up the proportion and your calculations.

According to the information given in the question both cities are 48 miles apart. In centimeters this distance is 7.725x10^6 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question does not contain any map specified in the third sentence of the question. Using available information we can only conclude that distance between both the cities is 48 miles. And we want to calculate this distance in centimeters.

We know

1 mile= 160934 cm

So,

48 miles= (160934/48)cm

48 miles = 7.725x10^6 cm

Therefore, both the cities are 7.725x10^6 cm apart.
