Answer:


2(7)/(16) inches

Explanation:

Since 1 mi = 5,280 ft., to convert miles to feet, multiply by 5,280.

96 mi. = 96(5,280 ft.)

96 mi. = 506,880 ft.

Since 1 ft. = 12 in., to convert feet to inches, multiply by 12.

506,,800 ft. = 506,880(12 in.)

506,880 ft. = 6,082,560 in.

The map scale is 1 in. represents 2,500,000 in.


(6,082,560)/(2,500,00) = 2.4330...

The distance on the map between Nanaimo and Campbell River is approximately
2(7)/(16)
