Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the number of inches, divide miles by 9.5.
__
a) 24 miles = (24 mi)×(1 in)/(9.5 mi) = (24/9.5) in ≈ 2.526 in
__
b) 24 miles + 16 miles = 40 miles = (40 mi)×(1 in)/(9.5 mi) = 40/9.5 in ≈ 4.211 in

Comment on units conversion
I find it convenient to work units conversion problems by writing a fraction that is equal to 1 and multiplying by that to change units. My fraction has the "to" units in the numerator, and the "from" units in the denominator. That way, the unwanted units cancel when the multiplication is carried out.
The fraction is equal to 1 because the measurement in the numerator is equal to the measurement in the denominator.
__
Some folks prefer proportions. If you do it that way, be sure "like" is matched with "like".
map inches/ground miles = 1/9.5 = x/24
route inches/scale inches = route miles/scale miles = x/1 = 24/9.5

Step-by-step explanation:
So the lion weighs more than the ant right?
And we wish to figure out how much greater the lion's weight is compared to the ant's weight.
So only thing we have to do is divide.
Answer:
You take the repeating group of digits and divide it by the same number of digits but formed only by 9s.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's say you have 0.111111111111...., your repeating pattern is 1, that consists of one digit (1). You take that digit and you divide it by 9:
1/9 is the fraction equivalent to 0.111111111111111...
Let's say you have 0.12121212121212...., the repeating pattern is 12, that consists of 2 digits (12). You take those 2 digits and divide them by 99:
12/99 is the fraction equivalent to 0.12121212121212...
which can be reduced to 4/33
If you have 0.363363363363..., your repeating pattern is 363, which is 3 digits, so you divide 363by 999:
363/999 is the fraction equivalent to 0.363363363363...
which can be simplified to 121/333
