Chicago - Denver: $d_{1} = 199.08\,mi$ , Mexico City - Denver: $d_{2} = 1416.87\,mi$

Step-by-step explanation:

The latitudes of Chicago, Mexico City and Denver are 42° 35' N (+ 42.583), 19° 29' 52'' N (+ 19.498) and 39° 44' 21' N' (+ 39.739), respectively.

The distances are:

Chicago - Denver

$d_{1} = \left(\frac{42.583 - 39.739}{1}\right)\cdot (70\,mi)$

$d_{1} = 199.08\,mi$

Mexico City - Denver

$d_{2} = \left(\frac{39.739-19.498}{1}\right)\cdot (70\,mi)$

$d_{2} = 1416.87\,mi$
