15. The scale of a map is 1 inch = 25 miles. How many miles does 1.25 inches represent? (1 point)
25 miles
31.25 miles
62.5 miles
49.25 miles
no, (3/8)/3 = 1/8
Consider 1/8 as a unit. You start with 3 of them, and then take 1/3 of that, leaving 1 unit (1/8)

1.25 in represents 1.25*25 = 31.25 miles
