Suppose that you have a map on  which 1 inch represents 100 miles You trace a state on the map onto a 1/4 inch graph paper. (the grid lines are space 1/4 inch apart). You count that the state takes up about 80 squares of graph paper. Approximately what is the area of the state? Explain how to determine this area in two distinctly different ways.
