You can do the proportion  

1 inch/ 80 miles =x inch/ 1100 miles

1100=80x

11oo divided by 80 equals 13.75

The trip would be about 13.75 inches on the map

Answer:

13.75 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

To find an estimated distance on the map, we can simply create a proportion.

Let X represent the unknown distance in inches on the map.

1100 miles / 80 miles = X inches / 1 inch

Now let's solve for X.

X inches = (1100 miles / 80 miles) * 1 inch

X inches = 13.75 inches

So the approximate travel distance on the map will be 13.75 inches.
