Answer 2

Answer: 1406.25 or 1406 1/4

Explanation:

From the question, we are informed that a soccer field at a park is 9000 square yards and that the soccer field takes up 6 2/5 square inches on the map of the park.

To calculate how many square yards does 1 square inch on the map represent, we divide 9000 by 6 2/5. This will be:

= 9000 ÷ 6 2/5

= 9000 ÷ 6.4

= 1406.25 or 1406 1/4

1 square inch on the map represents 1406.25 square yards.
