PLEASE HELP!! No scale is shown on a map of a wilderess area. The distance between Rose Lake and the main road is 6 miles. On the map it is 3 inches. The distance from Rose lake to the hikingtrail is 2 inches. What is the actual distance in miles between Rose Lake and the hiking trail?

The ratio is 2:1 (miles to inches), so the answer is 4 miles
