Answer:

7 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to set up a ratio, where x is the actual distance in miles between Rose Lake and the hiking trail.

[tex]3.5 : 2 = x : 4[tex]

[tex]2x = 3.5 * 4[tex]

[tex]2x = 14[tex]

[tex]x = 7[tex]

The actual distance between Rose Lake and the hiking trail is 7 miles.

The answer is  B,) 7 mi.
