Question 1033938: A map is drawn so that every 7.5 inches on the map corresponds to an actual distance of 100 miles. If the actual distance between the two cities is 440 miles, how far apart are they on the map? (Round your answer to two decimal places.) Answer by fractalier(6550) (Show Source):

Now cross-multiply and get
100x = 7.5*440
100x = 3300
x = 33 inches
