Question 830617: You have just returned from a trip to Sydney, Australia and want to get an estimate of the mileage to check your airline's calculations of your frequent flyer miles. On a globe where 1 inch = 52,000,000 inches, you measure a distance of 22 inches. How many miles in actual distance does that represent?

That's a very strange representation!
.
If 1 inch represents 52,000,000 inches, how many inches does 22 represent?
Multiply to find the answer: 22 * 52,000,000 = 1,144,000,000

I sure hope you are enrolled in the Qantas frequent flyer club.
