### Instruction: The distance from Goteborg to Jonkiping on a map is 88 cm. The scale on the map is 1 cm: 15 km. How far is it between the two city centers, in kilometers?### Response: To solve this problem, I need to use the scale factor given on the map.
The scale factor tells me how many kilometers correspond to one centimeter on the map, so I can multiply it by the map distance to get the actual distance.
The scale factor is 1 cm: 15 km, which means that one centimeter on the map represents 15 kilometers in reality.
Therefore, to find the actual distance between Goteborg and Jonkiping, I need to multiply 88 cm by 15 km.
I can do this by multiplying 88 by 15 and appending the unit of km to the result.
88 times 15 is 1320, so the actual distance is 1320 km.
