What does 3 3/4 inches represent on the map?

1 inch is equivalent to 12 miles on the map

From the above question, the scale on the map is given as:

1 inch = 12 miles

Hence, 3 3/4 inches = x miles

Cross Multiply

1 inch × x miles = 3 3/4 inches × 12 miles

x miles = 3 3/4 inches × 12 miles/1 inch

x miles = 15/4 × 12 miles

x miles = 45 miles

Therefore, 3 3/4 inches represents 45 miles on the map.
