The scale of the map is 1 inch to 10 miles. This means that 1 inch on the map represents 10 miles.
In this case, since the two cities are 147 miles apart, what we need to do is divide 147 by 10 miles (because 1 inch represents 10 miles), to find the number of inches that this will represent on the map:
[tex]147miles\times(\frac{1\text{inch}}{10\text{miles}})=\frac{147}{10}\text{inch}=14.7\text{inch}[/tex]The distance on the map between the cities is 14.7 in
