The actual distance between cities is 580 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Map distance = [tex]7\frac{1}{4}[/tex] inches = [tex]\frac{29}{4}\ inches[/tex]

Scale used;

[tex]\frac{1}{2}\ inches = 40\ miles[/tex]

Multiplying both sides by 2

[tex]2*\frac{1}{2}=40*2\\1\ inch = 80\ miles\\[/tex]

Now,

[tex]\frac{29}{4}\ inches = \frac{29}{4}*80\\\\\frac{29}{4}=29*20\\\\\frac{29}{4}\ inches = 580\ miles[/tex]

The actual distance between cities is 580 miles.
