Answer: 90 inches will represent 900 miles

Explanation:

A simple way to find this using mathematical methods is to set up a proportion:

1/10=x/900

Then you would cross multiply getting:

900=10x (then divide by 10 on both sides to get the variable alone)

x=90

So 90 inches will represent 900 miles
