To solve this question, follow the steps outlined below:

1. Since 1 yard equals 36 inches, to convert 50 yards to inches involves:

$(50)(36)=1800in$

2. If he is standing 50 yards away from the school, and the map indicates that the school is 34 inches away from him, when it shows 3 inches the actual distance is:

$\frac{(1800in)(3in)}{34in}=158.82in$

3. If you express this back in yards:

$\frac{158.82}{36} =4.41 yd$

Consequently, the answer is: 158.82 inches or 4.41 yards.

The real distance from Harper to the school is 50 yards.

As per the map, the distance from the school is represented as 34 inches.

This indicates that 34 inches equates to 50 yards.

Hence, 1 inch equals 50/34 = 25/17 yards.

To calculate the actual distance of 3 inches in yards, we multiply the yard value of 1 inch by 3.

Thus, 3 inches results in 3* 25/17 = 75/17 = 4 7/17 yards, which is approximately 4.412 yards in decimal form.

Consequently, the distance from Harper's home is 4 7/17 yards or approximately 4.412 yards if the map indicates 3 inches.
