Emma Dickson · Answer 1

Scale:actual=1/4:8=1/4/8=1/32

if scale=2 then

1/32=2/actual

times both sides by 32actual (cross multiply

actual=32 times 2

actual=64 miles

Jeremiah Gilbert · Answer 2

0.25 = 8

2.00 = x

How many 0.25's go into 1.00? 4.

There are two 1.00's.

Multiply 4 by 2, you get 8.

So multiply 8 by 8 to get 64

64 is your total miles.
