The image you provided contains a map with measurements and a scaling factor to convert distances. Let me help you work through the given problem.

### Understanding the Scale
- The map has a scale of **4 inches = 2 miles**.
- This simplifies to a **1 inch = 0.5 miles** scale.
  
### First Question:
**What is the distance from Oscar's campsite (4A) to the general store?**
- On the map, the distance is marked as **3 inches**.
- Using the scale of **1 inch = 0.5 miles**:
  
  \[
  3 \, \text{inches} \times 0.5 \, \text{miles/inch} = 1.5 \, \text{miles}.
  \]
  
So, the distance to the general store is **1.5 miles**.

### Second Question:
**What is the distance from Oscar's campsite to the beach?**
- The distance on the map is **2.5 inches**.
- Using the same scale of **1 inch = 0.5 miles**:
  
  \[
  2.5 \, \text{inches} \times 0.5 \, \text{miles/inch} = 1.25 \, \text{miles}.
  \]
  
So, the distance to the beach is **1.25 miles**.

### Related Questions:
1. How would the distance change if the scale were **1 inch = 1 mile**?
2. What would the map distance be for a real-world distance of **5 miles** using this scale?
3. If Oscar walked to both the general store and the beach, what is the total distance he would travel?
4. How many inches would it take to represent a distance of **10 miles** on the map?
5. Can you convert the distances from miles to kilometers (considering **1 mile ≈ 1.609 km**)?

### Tip:
Always check if the scale provided needs simplifying, like in this case, where **4 inches = 2 miles** became **1 inch = 0.5 miles**!
