5 inches equals 500 miles. If you multiply 100 by 5 you must multiply 1 inch by 5.
1 inch = 240 miles so 5/8 inch = 5/8*240 miles = 150 miles.
THat is about 5 ft and 8 inch.5 ft and 7 (3/4) inch actually.
If 1 inch on a map equals 5 miles, then 150 miles is 30 inches.
To determine how many inches it would take to show 500 miles on a map where 1 inch equals 100 miles, you can set up a proportion. Since 1 inch represents 100 miles, you can set up the equation: 1 inch / 100 miles = x inches / 500 miles. Cross multiplying gives you x = (1 inch * 500 miles) / 100 miles = 5 inches. Therefore, it would take 5 inches on the map to show 500 miles.
