Part A:
25/2 = 12.5 miles/inch
60/12.5 = 4.8 inches for 60 miles
Part B:
25/2 = 12.5 miles/inch
12.5/4 (1/4 is the fraction given above) = 3.125 miles per 1/4 inch
Let's check our work
3.125 x 4 (whole) = 12.5 miles/inch
12.5 x 2 (inches) = 25 miles per 2 inch
25/2 = 12.5 miles/inch
60/12.5 = 4.8 inches for 60 miles
Part B:
25/2 = 12.5 miles/inch
12.5/4 (1/4 is the fraction given above) = 3.125 miles per 1/4 inch
Let's check our work
3.125 x 4 (whole) = 12.5 miles/inch
12.5 x 2 (inches) = 25 miles per 2 inch
