Question

2 3/4 in.

Please help! Thank you in advance.

Answer 1

2 3/4 in = 2.75 inches

so just multiply that by 60

Answer 2

2.75*60=165 miles

It would 165 miles.

ok, thank you.

Answer 3

u can also do this, but u can do it the easier way, in ur opinion

2 inches=120 miles
3/4 mile= 45 miles
u find that out by dividing the original 60 miles by 4 and then multiplying that by 3
120+45=165 miles
