What is the distance from Ricks to Magnolia?

On a map, you convert the measured distance between two places into real miles using the map’s scale. The real distance equals the map distance multiplied by the miles-per-unit of the scale. If the scale is 1 inch represents 10 miles and the map distance between Rick's and Magnolia is 3.8 inches, the real distance is 3.8 × 10 = 38 miles. That’s why 38 miles is the correct result. If the map distance or the scale were different, the calculated miles would change accordingly.
