What is the map scale?

1/8 in. = 10 mi.

1 1/8 in. = ? mi.
And you give the formula Ms. Sue

One way to solve this is by using a proportion. Cross multiply and solve for x.

(1/8) / 10 = (1 1/8) / x

1/8x = 11 1/4

x = (11 1/4) / (1/8)

x = 45/4 * 8 = 90

So Ms. My answer would be 90? But I'm still having a hard time understanding how you got your answer.

Ms. Sue Ms. Sue answered

Yes, the answer is 90.

Another way to approach this is to note that 1 1/8 is 9 times 1/8. So 9 * 10 = 90.

To convert inches to miles, we need to know the conversion factor. Specifically, how many inches there are in one mile.

The conversion factor for inches to miles is as follows:

1 mile = 63,360 inches

To find out how many miles are equivalent to 1 1/8 inches, we can set up a proportion:

1 1/8 inches / 1 mile = x inches / x miles

Now, let's solve the proportion:

1 1/8 inches / 1 mile = x inches / x miles

To eliminate the fraction, we can convert 1 1/8 inches into an improper fraction:

1 1/8 = (8 + 1) / 8 = 9/8 inches

Substituting this value back into the proportion:

9/8 inches / 1 mile = x inches / x miles

Now, cross-multiply and solve for x:

(9/8) * x miles = 1 * x inches

9x/8 = x

Multiply both sides of the equation by 8 to eliminate the fraction:

9x = 8x

Subtract 8x from both sides:

x = 0

The solution is x = 0, which means that 1 1/8 inches is equivalent to 0 miles.
