Question

The scale used on a map is 1 inch = 44 miles. How many miles does 9 inches on the map represent​

Answer 1

9 inches on the map represents 396 miles.

Explanation:

Here let's convert 44 miles to inches.

44 miles is 2787840 inches.

So according to the map, 1 inch = 2787840 inches.

We need to multiply both of these values by 9 to find out how many miles 9 inches represents.

1 inch = 2787840 inches

1 * 9 inches = 2787840 * 9 inches

9 inches = 25090560 inches.

Then convert back to miles.

25090560 inches = 396 miles.

That means, 9 inches on the map represents 396 miles.
