Step 1
Distance between town C and town D=70 miles
and towns are 245 inches apart on the map.
so,
245 inch directly proportional to 70 miles
Step 2
245 inch =70 miles
1 inch =70245 miles
simplifying fractions
1 inch=1449=27 miles=0.2857 miles
Therefore, 27 miles are represented by each inch on the​ map
