On a large map, the distance from Austin, Texas, to Milwaukee, Wisconsin, is 13.7 inches. The actual distance is about 1,000 miles. What is the distance on the same map from Waco, Texas, to Plano, Texas if the actual distance is about 100 miles? Round your answer to the nearest tenth.

Make a ratio.
13.7 is to 1000 miles and x inches is to 100 miles
proportion!
13.7 /10= 1.37 inches. =1.4 inches
Hope my answer helped!
