    Answer:

    4.5 inches on the map would represent 60 actual feet.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Given that:

    1.5 inches on map represents 20 feet in the park.

    x be the inches on map that represents 60 feet in the park.

    Ratio of distance on map to actual distance :: Ratio of distance on map to actual distance

    1.5 : 20 :: x : 60

    Product of mean = Product of extreme

    20*x = 1.5*60

    20x = 90

    Dividing both sides by 20

    \frac{20x}{20}=\frac{90}{20}\\x=4.5

    Hence,

    4.5 inches on the map would represent 60 actual feet.
