If on a map 12 inch equals 100 miles and the state of Wisconsin is about 1 inches long how many Wisconsin?

The length of Wisconsin on the map is approximately 1 5/16 inches (1.3 inches). To find the actual distance, we need to set up a proportion:

(Map distance) / (Actual distance) = (Map scale)

(1.3 inches) / (Actual distance) = (12 inches / 100 miles)

Cross-multiplying, we get:

(1.3 inches) * (100 miles) = (12 inches) * (Actual distance)

130 miles = 12 inches * (Actual distance)

Dividing both sides by 12 inches:

(Actual distance) = 130 miles / 12 inches

(Actual distance) = 10.83 miles

Therefore, the state of Wisconsin is about 10.83 miles long according to the given map scale.
