Answer:
[tex]275\ mi[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
The distance on the map from Town A and Town C is equal to
3.5 cm+2 cm=5.5 cm
The scale map is equal to
[tex]\frac{2}{100}\frac{cm}{mi}[/tex]
Simplify
[tex]\frac{1}{50}\frac{cm}{mi}[/tex]
That means-----> 1 cm on a map is 50 mi on the actual
so
by proportion
[tex]\frac{1}{50}\frac{cm}{mi} =\frac{5.5}{x}\\ \\x=50*5.5\\ \\x=275\ mi[/tex]
