Answer:

24 inches represents 9 miles in the map

Explanation:

To solve this problem you take into account that 8 inches represents 3 miles and that x represent the number of inches for 9 miles. That is:

8 ------- 3

x ------- 9

This is simply a rule of three, then you calculate:


x=(8\ x\ 9)/(3)=(72)/(3)=24

Hence, 24 inches represents 9 miles in the map
