On a map with a fractional scale of 1:48000

 

 

 

One inch represents how many feet?

One centimeter represents how many meters?

If the map is 17 inches wide and 25 inches tall, how many square miles are shown on the map?

One inch represents how many feet?

1 inch represents 48000 inches

now you just have to change the inches to feet

 

 

 

 

One centimeter represents how many meters?

One cm represents 48000cm

now change the cm to metres

 

 

If the map is 17 inches wide and 25 inches tall, how many square miles are shown on the map?

1 inch represents 48000 inches 

17 inches represents 48000*17inches

How many inches are there in a mile?  Idk, I'd have to look it up same as you.

17 represents ......    miles

 

Do the same to the other length.

 

Multiply them together and you will have the number of square miles :))
