The window has a length of 21 inches

<h3>How to determine the length of the window?</h3>

From the question, we have the following parameters

Area of the window = 336 square inches

Width of the window = 16 inches

The area of the window is the product of its dimensions

So, we have

Area = Width of the window x Length of the window

Substitute the known values in the above equation

So, we have the following equation

336 = 16 * Length

Divide both sides by 16

Length = 21

Hence, the length is 21 inches

Answer:

1857 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that the scale on a map is 1 cm:30 mi. The distance on the map between San Francisco, CA, and Chicago, IL, is 61.9 cm. We are asked to find the actual distance between San Francisco and Chicago.

We will use proportions to solve our given problem.

$\frac{\text{Actual distance}}{\text{Map distance}}=\frac{30\text{ miles}}{1\text{ cm}}$

Upon substituting map distance between San Francisco and Chicago, we will get:

$\frac{\text{Actual distance}}{61.9\text{ cm}}=\frac{30\text{ miles}}{1\text{ cm}}$

$\frac{\text{Actual distance}}{61.9\text{ cm}}\cdot 61.9\text{ cm}=\frac{30\text{ miles}}{1\text{ cm}}\cdot 61.9\text{ cm}$

$\text{Actual distance}=30\text{ miles}\cdot 61.9$

$\text{Actual distance}=1857\text{ miles}$

Therefore, the actual distance between San Francisco and Chicago is 1857 miles.
