Solution

First, we need to understand the scale of the map. The scale is 1/2 cm = 18 miles. This means that for every 1/2 cm on the map, it represents 18 miles in real life.

Next, we need to find out how many half centimeters are in 7.2 cm. To do this, we divide 7.2 by 1/2 (or multiply by 2). This gives us 14.4 half centimeters.

Finally, we multiply the number of half centimeters by the number of miles each one represents. So, 14.4 half cm * 18 miles/half cm = 259.2 miles.

So, the actual mileage distance between the two points is 259.2 miles.
