Alicia drew a map of Texas. In the scale Alicia used for the map, .50 inch represents 20 miles. What is the distance between two cities on the map if the actual distance between the two cities is 360 miles?

An actual distance of 360 miles correspond to 9 inches on the map

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we have a scale of 0.5 inches representing 20 miles

Now, we want to relate an actual distance of 360 miles to a measurement on the map using the scale

From here, we have that;

0.5 inches = 20 miles

x inches = 360 miles

x * 20 = 0.5 * 360

20x = 180

x = 180/20

x = 9 inches
