If the scale of a map is 1cm to 525m, how many (cm) on the map will represent a 4mile stretch of road. [Hint: unit conversion very necessary]

1 Mile = 160 934.4 Centimeters
4 miles= 4x160 934.4 = 643737.6 cm

1 cm of the map corresponds to 525cm on the real road
1 cm = 525
x cm=
643737.6

x=
643737.6/525
x= 1226.17

4 miles would correspond to
1226.17 centimeters on the map
