Answer:
The answer to the question is
16 actual miles
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve the question first we note that
1.5 inches on map = 4 actual miles
This means that, dividing both sides by 1.5 we have
1 inch on the map is equal to [tex]\frac{4}{1.5}[/tex] actual miles
Which indicates that 6 inches on the map will be 6× [tex]\frac{4}{1.5}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{6}{1.5}[/tex]×4actual miles
which is 4 × 4 or 16 actual miles as 6÷1.5 = 4
