The scale used in map = $$ 1inch = 8 miles $$

Distance = 48 miles

from the above 8 miles represented i = 1 inch

then 1 mile represented =

                                                   $$frac18 $$ 

now 48 miles =

                            $$48 imes frac18$$\$$ $$ = 6 inch $$

Hence, 6 inch
