Question

use the scale on the map below to identify the approximate distance (in miles) between the cities. 14. portland, maine wheeling, west virginia ____ miles 15. providence, rhode island canton, ohio __ miles 16. buffalo, new york new haven, connecticut __ miles 17. new haven, connecticut providence, rhode island __ miles 18. lynchburg, virginia trenton, new jersey __ miles 19. boston, massachusetts portland, maine ____ miles

Explanation:

Step1: Measure map - distance

Use a ruler to measure the straight - line distance between the two cities on the map in inches for each pair.

Step2: Use scale

The scale on the map is 1 inch = 100 miles. Multiply the measured map - distance (in inches) by 100 to get the actual distance in miles.

Answer:

Since the actual map - distance measurements are not provided, we can't give specific numerical answers. But the general method to find the distance between two cities (e.g., for Portland, Maine and Wheeling, West Virginia) is to measure the distance between them on the map in inches and then multiply that measurement by 100 to get the distance in miles. Repeat this process for each pair of cities:

1. Measure the map - distance between Portland, Maine and Wheeling, West Virginia in inches and multiply by 100.
2. Measure the map - distance between Providence, Rhode Island and Canton, Ohio in inches and multiply by 100.
3. Measure the map - distance between Buffalo, New York and New Haven, Connecticut in inches and multiply by 100.
4. Measure the map - distance between New Haven, Connecticut and Providence, Rhode Island in inches and multiply by 100.
5. Measure the map - distance between Lynchburg, Virginia and Trenton, New Jersey in inches and multiply by 100.
6. Measure the map - distance between Boston, Massachusetts and Portland, Maine in inches and multiply by 100.
