A city map has the scale 1 inch = 500 feet. If a map of the city limits is 36 inches (East to West) by 24 inches (North to South), how many miles long (5,280 feet = 1 mile) is a straight east - west road in this scale? miles

jhonyy9:

any idea ?

Mercury:

the map is 36 inches east-west 1 map inch = 500 real-life feet so to go from map inches to real-life feet, simply multiply 36 * 500, then divide by 5280 to convert to miles
