Hello there,
The scale on the map is 1 inch = 680 miles. How many actual miles does 7/8 inch represent?
First, put the 7/8 into a decimal form...do you know how to do that? Good, then your answer should be...
7 � 8 = 0.875
So then 0.875in. x 680 = ??
595 miles is your answer!
Good luck with your homework! Hope this helps!
