We know that 2 inches equals 25 miles and _____ equals 60. I am going to find out how many times 25 goes into 60. 60 divided by 25 equals 2.4. Then I am going multiply 2 by the same thing. 2 times 2.4 equals 4.8.
I'll try to show my work on the bottom
2 inches- 25 miles
4.8 inches-60 miles
The answer is 4.8 inches.
