Answer 1

x=330 miles

Explanation:

We can use proportions to solve this problem. Put the map distance over the real life distance.

1 1/4 inches = 1.25 inches in decimal form

1 1/8 inches = 1.125 inches in decimal form

1.25 inches 4 .125 inches

--------------------- = ---------------------

100 miles x miles

Using cross products

1.25x = 4.125 * 100

1.25x = 412.5

Divide by 1.25 on each side

1.25x/1.25 = 412.5/1.25

x=330 miles
