2) On a map of the Pacific Northwest, the scale is such that 1 inch equals 6 miles. Using the map, the distance from Seattle to San Francisco is 113 1/3 inches. How far is the round trip from Seattle to San Francisco in miles, rounded to the nearest mile?

Explanation

Multiply 113.33 x 6 to get the distance in miles and then double the answer to account for both legs of the trip. 113.33 x 6 ? 680, then 680 x 2 = 1,360 miles.
