You would look at the scale of the map. The scale indicates the comparison between the distances on the map - to distances in the real world. For example... if the map scale shows 1:10,000 - That means every unit on the map is equal to 10,000 units in real life.

On a map 3 inches represents 250 miles what actual distance on this map is represented by a line 34 and one half inches long?

The scale is 83 1/3 miles per inch, times 34.5 inches is 2875 miles.Using decimals would introduce a slight error, so what you may want to do instead is assume a scale 1 inch = 250 miles, times 34.5 is 8625, and then divide by 3 for your actual scale. 8625/3 = 2875
