1 1/8 in. = how many miles?
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.
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.
Ms. Sue how did you get 9?
1 1/8 = 9/8
8/8 + 1/8 = 9/8
Thank you Ms. Sue we love you :)))!!
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.
