This is more mathematical than geographic.
¾ inch = 500 miles
¾ inch = three times ¼
500 divided by three = 166.67 miles
166.67 miles = ¼ inch
¼ inch times 2 = ½ inch
2 times 166.67 miles = 333.34 miles
The distance is 333.34 miles (to the nearest hundredth)

Since 500 miles = 3/4 inch:
Divide 500 by 3 to find how many miles there are in 1/4 inch:
=166 and 2/3
Next multiply this number by 2 since (1/4 * 2)=1/2
=333 and 1/3 miles
