Step-by-step explanation:Jensen STOPPED at A and planned to stop at B next. He has a map with a scale of 1 inch to 35 miles.It is CLEAR that 1 inch on map corresponds to 35 miles in actual.From the map he has, we can see that both places A and B are 2.5 inches APART on map.Let's assume those are "X" miles away in actual. Then we can use proportions to solve this problem.1 inch to 35 miles would be same as 2.5 inches to X miles. MATHEMATICALLY, we can write it as follows :-1 inch / 35 miles = 2.5 inches / X milesX/35 = 2.5/1X=35*2.5X = 87.5hope it will help you please mark it as brianlistthank you
