Suppose that you have a map on which 1 inch
represents 100 miles. You trace a state on the
map onto -inch graph paper. (The grid lines are
spaced i inch apart.) You count that the state
takes up about 80 squares of graph paper. Ap-
proximately what is the area of the state? Ex-
plain how to determine this area in two distinctly
different ways.
