on a map , 1.5 inches represent 24 miles . how many miles approximately is the distance if you measured 47 centimeters assuming that 1 - inch is 2.54 centimeters ?
1.5 inch = 2.54 * 1.5 cm . so , 2.54 * 1.5 represents 24 miles . so for 47 cm . : 47 / ( 2.54 * 1.5 ) = x / 24 - - - > x = 24 * 47 / ( 4.81 ) = 296 answer will be d .
multiply(divide(47, 2.54), divide(24, 1.5))
