Respuesta :

Answer:

The distance between two cities is 70 km.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

The distance between two cities on a map is 3.5 centimeters.

It is also mentioned that the map uses a scale  in which 1 centimeter represents 20 kilometers.

We need to find the actual distance  between these two cities in kilometers.

1 cm = 20 km

3.5 cm = (3.5 × 20) km

= 70 km

Hence, the distance between two cities is 70 km.
