It asked for scale.
in expressing a scale, no units are shown, since the numbers
are to represent the same units, we skip the units (divide by the unit)
7/8 miles corresponds with 3/10 inches <------ that was given
1 mile corresponds with (3/10) ÷ (7/8) inches = 12/35 inches
1 mile = 5280*12 inches = 63360 inches
12/35 inches on map = 63360 inches in real
1 inch on map = 63360 ÷ 12/35 inches in real
1 inch : 184,800 inches
the scale is 1 : 184,800
