Answer:

77 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

1 inch = 3 miles in map

We are also given the actual distance between City A and City B = 231 miles.

In order to get the distance in inches = Distance between City A and City B in miles/ 3

We are dividing the distance by 3 to get the distance in inches.

So,

Distance on map = 231/3

= 77 inches

Answer: 77 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

You know that this map uses this scale:

[tex]1in=3mi[/tex]

This means that 1 inch in the map represents 3 miles.

In this case, you know that the actual distance between City A and City B is 231 miles, then, to find the distance between the cities on the map, you can set up de following proportion:

[tex]\frac{1in}{3mi}=\frac{x}{231mi}[/tex]

Now, you need to solve for "x":

[tex](231mi)(\frac{1in}{3mi})=x\\\\x=77in[/tex]
