A map has a scale of 1 centimeter = 40 kilometer. If the distance between Fort Worth and El Paso is 21.7 cm on a map , how many kilometers are between the two cities?
Aloha! 1 centimeter= 40 kilometers The distance between the cities in centimeters is 21.7 To get the answer into kilometers, you multiply. So, 21.7 times 40 which is 868 kilometers. To answer your question, the distance between Fort Worth and El Paso is 868 kilometers. I hope this helps! Adios!:)
