Answer: The actual straight-line distance between Los Angeles and San Francisco=6.14 miles.


Step-by-step explanation:

Given: On map, the distance between Los Angeles, California and San Francisco, California =2 inches.

The scale on the map is 14 inch = 43 miles

Thus, 1 inch on map = [tex]\frac{43}{14}\ miles[/tex]

Now, 4 inches= [tex]2\times\frac{43}{14}=\frac{43}{7}\ miles=6.14\ miles[/tex]

Hence, the actual straight-line distance between Los Angeles and San Francisco=6.14 miles.
