To determine the scale of the map, you need to calculate how many miles are represented by one inch on the map.

a. To find the scale of the map, you can use the formula:

Scale = Actual distance / Map distance

In this case, the actual distance from Liberty to West Quall is 72 miles, and it is represented by 6 inches on the map.

Scale = 72 miles / 6 inches
Scale = 12 miles per inch

Therefore, the scale of the map is 12 miles per inch.

b. To determine the distance from Foston to West Quall, we need to use the scale of the map.

On the map, Liberty is 6 inches away from West Quall, and Foston is 4 inches away from Liberty.

Using the scale of 12 miles per inch, we can calculate the distance from Foston to West Quall:

Distance from Foston to West Quall = (4 inches) * (12 miles per inch)
Distance from Foston to West Quall = 48 miles

Therefore, Foston is 48 miles away from West Quall.
