On a map, 1/4 inch represents 12 miles. If a road is 66 miles long, what is its length, in inches, on the map?

it'll be 1[tex] \frac{5}{6} [/tex] inches on the map

since 12 miles is a quarter of an inch, we need to see how much it will be for 66 miles. we divide 66 by 12, which gives us 5[tex] \frac{1}{2} [/tex]

we multiply that by [tex] \frac{1}{4} [/tex], which gives us thusly 1[tex] \frac{5}{6} [/tex] of an inch = 66 miles.
