Answer 1

It would be 11.25 inches because 1800 divided by 160 is 11.25

Answer 2

Answer:

11.25 inches is the actual length of the block on Constance's map.∴

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question a scale is given as 1 inch = 160 feet

and Constance has to convert her block length in inch which is 1800 feet long.

With the help of unitary method she will convert the distance from feet to inch to draw on map.

∵ 160 feet = 1 inch

∴ 1 feet = 1/160 inch

∴ 1800 feet = 1800/160 = 11.25 inches.

Therefore answer is 11.25 inches.
