Answer 1

Answer:

Option B is correct.

The actual miles 63.75 does 0.85 inches represents.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The scale of a map is 1 inch : 75 mi

or we can write this as 1 inch = 75 mi,  which means that if the distance between two points on map is 1 inch

then it's actual distance  is 75 miles

However,  the distance between two points is 0.85 inches then its actual distance is :

$75 \times 0.85 = 63.75$

Therefore, 63.75 actual miles does 0.85 inches represents.
