Question

Please somebody can give me an idea to solve the questions a), and b). Thanks

Answer 1

What do you think?

Answer 2

a.) 72/6 = 12 so this means 1 inch on the map equals 12 miles.

b.) from Liberty to West Quall the distance is 6 inches. From Libery to Foston the distance is 4 inches. So this means the distance from Foston to West Quall is 6-4=2 inches, but we're not done yet

now multiply it by the scale of the map

remember we said 1 inch equals 12 miles and the distance on the map between Foston and West Qualls is 2 inches

this means that in real world the actual distance will be 2 inches times 12 miles = 2*12 = 24 miles.
