Answer:

153 miles

Explanation:

1 inch = 36 miles.

First, find the measurement of miles for 1/4 inch. Divide 36 with 4:

36/4 = 9

1/4 inch. = 9 miles.

Next, find the amount of measurement of miles per 4 inches:

4 x 36 = 144 miles.

Finally, combine the two measurements together:

144 + 9 = 153 miles.

153 miles is your answer.
