Im not used to the US system.. I can only do calculus in the metric one..
I told you how to do it in my way. Im not sure if yours is the same. Maybe you should wait for someone thats used to inches

Okay Thanks anyways :)

anonymous · Answer

lets give it another try

11.125 (i) = 445 (m)

445/11.125 = 40

1 inch = 40 miles

I did this: 11.125 (i) = 445 (m)

445/11.125 = 40

1 inch = 40 miles
