20 miles/inch * 6.2 inch

The 6 inches part is easy - 6 lots of 20 miles would give you 120 miles. You then have to find out how much 1/5 of an inch is - in other words, what is 1/5 of 20? 20 divided by 5 is 4 so the total is 124 miles...as the others said but perhaps didn't explain very well.

6 1/5 * 20 miles = 124 miles or if this was a trick question... 6 1/5 inches.

you need to divide 1 by 5 to get .2 so
6.2 x 20= 124

multiply 6 1/5 by 20. (by the way, 6 1/5 = 6.2)
