Respuesta :

Answer: 800 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the actual distance between City C and City​ D be represented by x.

The information given in the question can be formed into an equation as:

1.8 feet / 2.88 feet = 500 miles / x

Cross multiply

1.8 × x = 500 × 2.88

1.8x = 1440

x = 1440/1.8

x = 800

Therefore, the actual distance between City C and City​ D is 800 miles.
