Delaware is a very small state, shaped similarly to a five­sided polygon.  The scale on a map of Delaware is approximately 2cm = 50 miles.  The distance on the map across Delaware from east to west is 1.4 cm.  How many miles is it to drive across Delaware if you drove 50 mph?

How long would it take?
