Answer:

12 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Hey there!

Well to solve the given question we need to use fractions,

if 1 inch is 20 milles, we can set up the following.

[tex]\frac{1}{20} = \frac{x}{240}[/tex]

Cross multiply

240 = 20x

Divide both sides by 20

x = 12

So it is 12 inches in the map.

Hope this helps :)
