Question

on a map the scale shown is 1 inch = 5 miles if a park is 75 square miles what is the area of the park on the map

Answer 1

75 miles squared

Explanation:

First we have to convert 1 inch = 5 miles to square miles as that is what we are trying to get

So, 1 inch squared = 25 miles squared

To get 75 miles squared, we multiply both sides by 3.

So 3 * 1 inch squared = 3 * 25 miles squared

Gets us 3 inch squared = 75 miles squared
