On a map, \(\frac{1}{4}\) inch represents 12 miles. If a road is 66 miles long, what is its length, in inches, on the map?

it'll be 1 6 5 ​ inches on the map
since 12 miles is a quarter of an inch, we need to see how much it will be for 66 miles. we divide 66 by 12, which gives us 5 2 1 ​
we multiply that by 4 1 ​ , which gives us thusly 1 6 5 ​ of an inch = 66 miles.

The length of a 66-mile road on the map, where 4 1 ​ inch represents 12 miles, can be calculated to be 5.5 inches. This is determined by first converting the mileage to the corresponding segments and scaling it to inches. Therefore, the final answer is 5.5 inches on the map.
