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
