6 miles

Explanation:

Marcus running route is 8.3 inches long.

The scale on the map is 4 inches = 3 miles.

To the nearest mile, the total distance that he ran is calculated as:

4 inches = 3 miles

8.3 inches = x miles

Cross Multiply

4 inches × x miles = 3 miles × 8.3 inches

x miles = 3 miles × 8.3 inches/4 inches

x miles = 24.9/4 inches

x miles = 6.225 miles

Approximately to the nearest miles = 6 miles
