On a map, the distance between two cities is 5.25 inches. The map scale is 1 in =25 mi. To the nearest mile, what is the actual distance between the two cities?

Well...1 inch would be 25 miles. ( 1 x 25)

2 inches would be 50 miles.  (2 x 25)

So, to find the number of miles, we have....... (inches) x (25 miles per inch)

See if you take it from here.......
