Ask how many miles is 1/5 of 20 miles (1 inch), and to get the answer to that, divide 20 miles by 5, equals 4 miles. Meaning 20 miles is 4 miles taken 5 times. Therefore, a 4 miles stretch is 1/5 of an inch on the map. Add 120 miles (20 miles x 6 in.) to 4 gives you 124 miles.

Each 1/5 of a mile is 4 miles so
6 inches = 20 x 6 = 120
and
1/5 = 4 miles
so
120 + 4 = 124 miles total

hi buddy,
how are u
since 1 inch = 20miles
therefore 6 inches = 120 miles ( 6 * 20 )
and 1/5 inch is 20/5 miles = 4 miles
so the total is 124 miles

124 is the answer. The reading of 6 1/5 is a decimal as 6.2
When you multiply 6.2 x 20 you get 124. the answer.

124 miles.
If 1 inch represents 20 miles then:
6x20=120
20x1/5=4
120+4=124.
