Answer:

44 millimeters

Explanation:

The ratio is set up as millimeters : meters

On the map, 4 millimeters : 9 meters

The actual length ratio is represented as x millimeters : 99 meters

Since we know its proportional, we can set up the equation:

4/9 = x/99

Solve:

4/9 = x/99

4 * 99 = 9x

396 = 9x

x = 44 millimeters

Another Way

Since we already know it is proportional, 99 = 9 x 11

So we can multiply 4 x 11 to get 44 millimeters.
