Answer 1

Answer:

$2\frac{7}{16}$  inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Since 1 mi = 5,280 ft., to convert miles to feet, multiply by 5,280.

96 mi. = 96(5,280 ft.)

96 mi. = 506,880 ft.

Since 1 ft. = 12 in., to convert feet to inches, multiply by 12.

506,,800 ft. = 506,880(12 in.)

506,880 ft. = 6,082,560 in.

The map scale is 1 in. represents 2,500,000 in.

$\frac{6,082,560}{2,500,00} = 2.4330...$  

The distance on the map between Nanaimo and Campbell River is approximately $2\frac{7}{16}$
