### 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 find the actual distance between the two cities, I need to multiply the map distance by the scale factor.
The scale factor is 15 km per 1 cm, so I can write it as a fraction: 15 km / 1 cm.
Multiplying 88 cm by 15 km / 1 cm, I get 88 x 15 km / 1.
I can cancel out the cm units in the numerator and denominator, leaving me with 88 x 15 km.
Multiplying 88 by 15, I get 1320.
