Answer 1

The distance between Mark 3 and Mark 4 is approximately 1.5 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the distance between Mark 3 and Mark 4, we need to use the given scale of 1 inch = 5.5 miles. We can set up a proportion to find the length in inches:

[Mark 3 to Mark 4]/[distance in miles] = 1 inch/5.5 miles

Simplifying the proportion, we have:

[Mark 3 to Mark 4] = [distance in miles] * (1 inch/5.5 miles)

Using the scale values provided in the review section, we substitute the distance in miles with 8.25 miles:

[Mark 3 to Mark 4] = 8.25 miles * (1 inch/5.5 miles)

[Mark 3 to Mark 4] = 8.25/5.5 inches

[Mark 3 to Mark 4] ≈ 1.5 inches

Therefore, the distance between Mark 3 and Mark 4 is approximately 1.5 inches.
