Question

Sally is making a relief map of Indiana her map is 6 inches 11.5 inches long if Indiana is 140 miles wide what is the approximately length in miles

Answer 1

The approximate length of Indiana in miles is 33.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the approximate length of Indiana in miles, we can use the scale given in the question. The scale is 1 inch = 5.5 miles. The length of the map given is 6 inches. Using the scale, we can set up a proportion:

1 inch / 5.5 miles = 6 inches / x miles

Cross-multiplying and solving for x, we get:

x = (6 inches * 5.5 miles) / 1 inch

x = 33 miles

Therefore, the approximate length of Indiana in miles is 33 miles.
