Answer:
therefore the scale of the map is 1 inch : 8 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
i) 1 mile = 63360 inches
ii) therefore 48 miles = 48 [tex]\times[/tex] 63360 = 3041280 inches
iii) therefore 3041280 inches is represented on the map by 6 inches
iv) therefore the scale of the map will be given by the ratio of
6 inches to 3041280 or 6 inches to 48 miles
v) therefore the ratio of the map is 1 inch to [tex]\frac{48}{6}[/tex] miles
therefore the scale of the map is 1 inch : 8 miles
