Question

The length of the tunnel is 460miles. If 1 inch represents 60 miles what is the length of the tunnel?

Answer 1

7.5in

Explanation:

450/60 = 7.5

Answer 2

The length of the tunnel is 7.66667 inch

Explanation:

We are given

1 inch =60 miles

now, we can find for 1 mile

so,

60 miles = 1 inch

we get

`1mile=(1)/(60)inch`

we are given

total length is 460 miles

so, we can multiply both sides by 460

`460* 1mile=460*(1)/(60)inch`

now, we can simplify it

`460miles=7.66667inch`

So,

The length of the tunnel is 7.66667 inch
