To fill in the table, you need to convert the number of miles to inches using the scale of 28 miles per inch.
The formula to convert miles to inches is:
[ text{Inches} = frac{text{Miles}}{28} ]
Now, let’s fill in the table:
1. For 2 miles:
[ frac{2}{28} = 0.0714 , text{inches} ]
2. For 14 miles:
[ frac{14}{28} = 0.5 , text{inches} ]
3. For 1 mile:
[ frac{1}{28} = 0.0357 , text{inches} ]
4. For 1.5 miles:
[ frac{1.5}{28} = 0.0536 , text{inches} ]
5. For 56 miles:
[ frac{56}{28} = 2 , text{inches} ]
So, the completed table with inches is approximately:
– 2 miles: 0.0714 inches
– 14 miles: 0.5 inches
– 1 mile: 0.0357 inches
– 1.5 miles: 0.0536 inches
– 56 miles: 2
