Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Using the given ratio, we can set up a proportion:

1 inch/28 miles = 11ebb63d_1c13_ec31_b851_59cf03ae4699_TB8475_11 inches/x miles

Solving for x, we get:

x = (11ebb63d_1c13_ec31_b851_59cf03ae4699_TB8475_11 inches * 28 miles)/1 inch

x = 105 miles

Therefore, the answer is C. For every 1 inch, there are 28 miles. Therefore, for 11 inches, there would be 11 times as many miles, which is 11 x 28 = 308 miles. Choice C is the closest answer to 308 miles.
