Answer : The miles apart they in the real world are, 23.7 miles.

Explanation :

As we are given that a map that is 1 : 500,000 scale. That means, 1 inch of map is equal to 500000 inch on real world. Now we have to determine the how many miles apart are they in the real world.

First we have to convert 3 inches to feet.

As, 12 inches = 1 foot

So, 3 inches = $\frac{3\text{ inches}}{12\text{ inches}}\times 1\text{ foot}=\frac{1}{4}\text{ foot}$

Now we have to convert feet to mile.

As, 5280 feet = 1 mile

So, $\frac{1}{4}\text{ feet}=\frac{1}{4\times 5280}\text{ mile}=4.73\times 10^{-5}\text{ miles}$

Now we have to determine the how many miles apart are they in the real world.

Miles apart are they in the real world = $500000\times 4.73\times 10^{-5}\text{ miles}$

Miles apart are they in the real world = $23.7\text{ miles}$

Thus, the miles apart they in the real world are, 23.7 miles.
