Answer 3

What does "3 wholes" mean?
3 whole inches?

Answer 4

in miles i suppose

Answer 5

so sort of like 3 1/2 miles

Answer 6

Two cities can't be 3 1/2 miles apart on the map unless you have a really, really large map.
Since "3 wholes and 1/2 inch" refers to a map distance, I will assume it means 3 1/2 inches on the map.

Answer 7

The cities are 3.5 inches apart on the map, and each inch on the map represents 20 miles of real distance. What is the real distance?
Since 1 in. represents 20 miles,
3.5 in. represents 3.5 * 20 miles
Just multiply 3.5 * 20
