Question

on a map the scale is 1 inch equals 60 miles. how many miles would be in 3.5 inches?

Answer 1

If one inch is 60 then 3 would be 60*3 which is 180. The .5 s half of one so the half of 60 is 30. Add that to 180 and 180+30=210.

The answer is 210 miles

Answer 2

210 miles because since 1 inch = 60 miles and you have 3.5 inches you would simply multiply 60 by 3.5.
