Distance from Ubaby to Holly Springs?

The distance you’re after is found by turning the map distance into real-world miles using the map’s scale. Measure how far apart Ubaby and Holly Springs are on the map, then multiply that measured distance by how many miles one unit on the map represents (for example, if the scale is 1 inch = 8 miles, multiply the map distance in inches by 8). When you do that with the shown map distances, you get sixty-four miles. That’s why sixty-four miles is the right ground distance. If you’d seen different numbers, you’d be using a different map distance or scale, which would change the result.
