Anna is a sales person who has jobs this week in cities within north carolina and south carolina. on a map, these two cities are 50 centimeters apart. the map uses a scale of 2 centimeters = 4 kilometers. what is the actual distance between these cities?

2 centimeters ... 4 kilometers
50 centimeters ... x kilometers = ?

If you would like to know what is the actual distance between these cities, you can calculate this using the following steps:

2 * x = 4 * 50
2 * x = 200    /2
x = 200/2
x = 100 kilometers

The correct result would be 100 kilometers.
