Answer:

3.2 miles

Explanation:

  • If the Astronomical units is about 1 A.U which is = 1/2 plate then the diameter = 2 inches will be of  10,000 AU   2 X 10,000 = 20,000 inches.
  • Thus the 20,000 A.U / 12 = 1,666 feet   1,666 / 5280 = /3 of a mile  then the  10,000 AU  2 X 100,000 = 200,000 inches.
  • 20,000 / 12 = 16,666 feet  
  • 16,666 / 5280 = 3.2 miles

So with the first number in each set, look on the x axis or the horizontal line for the number. For example, 2 1/2 on the horizontal line or x axis is on the right side, next to the two and the x. The second number is on the vertical side, and the same thing. In this case, -1 1/2 would be on the bottom in between the -1 and the arrow.
Now find the place where the two intersect on the coordinate plane, and put a dot there to mark the coordinate.
