Answer:
[tex]2\frac{7}{16}[/tex] 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.
[tex]\frac{6,082,560}{2,500,00} = 2.4330...[/tex]
The distance on the map between Nanaimo and Campbell River is approximately [tex]2\frac{7}{16}[/tex]
