Answer: 7.1023 x 10^-5 miles
*Convert inches into miles*
1 inch = 1.578 × 10^-5 miles
(Just divide the length value by 63360)
So 4.5 inches = 7.1023 x 10^-5 miles
*** 1 in to 35 min is for what?? Is it a misprint. If you wanted me to use the scale. The correction will be at the bottom***
1/35 = 4.5/x
x = 157.5
