Answer 1

The scale shows that every inch measured on the map represents 160 miles in real life. If he measured 6 7/8 inches on the map, that would equal 1,100 miles.

Answer 2

Answer:

The distance between the two cities is 1100 miles, and the scale means that each $6\frac{7}{8}in$ represents 160 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that

• The distance on the map is $6\frac{7}{8}in$

• The scale of the map is $1in:160mi$

According to the given information, 1 inch on the map equals 160 miles of the real distance.

So, we have to just multiply the distance of the map with the given ratio. However, we first need to transform the mixed number in to a fraction

$6\frac{7}{8}in=\frac{55}{8}in$

Then, we multiply

$\frac{55}{8}(160)=1100$

Therefore, the distance between the two cities is 1100 miles, and the scale means that each $6\frac{7}{8}in$ represents 160 miles.
