Answer:
270 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
60 * 4.5 = 270
Each inch is equal to 60 miles. You can set up a ratio like this.
[tex]\frac{1}{60} = \frac{4.5}{x}[/tex]
Cross multiply to solve for x (or use a calculator).
x = 270
Note in our equation that the denominators are miles and numerators are inches. These much match or else you will get an incorrect answer.
