1 in = ________ km

1:100,000

1 in = ________ ft

1 in = ________ mi

1 in = ________ km

1:63,360

1 in = ________ ft

1 in = ________ mi

1 in = ________ km

Answer 1

If, say, a map has a scale of 1:24000, then an object that is one inch long on the map is in reality 24000 inches long. So you need to convert 24000 inches to feet, miles, and kilometers.

There are 12 inches in a foot, so 24000 inches is 24000/12 = 2000 feet.

There are (12*5280) = 63360 inches in a mile, so 24000 inches is 24000/63360 = 25/66 ft, or about 0.379 ft.

There are about 39370 inches in a kilometer, so 24000 inches is about 24000/39370 km, or about 0.6096 km

The other two problems are done in exactly the same way.
