How To Scale Mt Everest

how to scale mt everest
How do i convert a fraction ( 7/8 ) to miles, based on a map scale ?

Based on the map, 1 inch = 75 miles.

By measuring a city to mt everest, i got 7/8 on a ruler.

How do i convert this to miles ? and then to kilometers ? Thanks
Thanks everyone !!

75 miles divided by 7/8 = 65.625
65.625 X 1.609 = 105.613km
