1 inch on the map is equal to 55 miles in the real world.
set up a ratio.
1 inch on the map divided by 55 miles in the real world = x inches on the map divided by y miles in the real world.
the ratio becomes 1/55 = x/y.
when y = 790, this ratio becomes 1/55 = x/790
solve for x to get x = 790 / 55 = 14.3636363636... inches on the map.
