Answer:

60.15 km

Explanation:

If 6 km on the map represents 4 mi on land, then we'd get the answer by using the relation

6 km -> 4 mi

x km -> 40.1 mi

Where x km is the length on the map we're looking for. If we cross multiply

6 * 40.1 = 4x

240.6 = 4x

x = 240.6/4

x = 60.15 km.

That is the length we're looking for
