Answer :

VIALIAGO

Answer:

24 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

12 x 8 = 96

1 in = 0.25

96 in = 24

Answer:

6m^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Set up proportions and find the length and width of the park in miles.

Length:

l = 12(0.25)

l = 3 miles

Width:

w = 8(0.25)

w = 2 miles

The area of the park is A = lw = (3)(2) = 6 mi.2
