Answer:

The answer to the question is

16 actual miles

Step-by-step explanation:

1.5 inches on map = 4 actual miles

This means that, dividing both sides by 1.5 we have

1 inch on the map is equal to $\frac{4}{1.5}$ actual miles

Which indicates that 6 inches on the map will be 6× $\frac{4}{1.5}$ = $\frac{6}{1.5}$ ×4actual miles

which is 4 × 4 or 16 actual miles as 6÷1.5 = 4
