Question

If 10 miles is about 16 km and the distance between two towns is 45 miles use a ratio table to find the distance between the towns in kilometers

Answer 1

The ratio of m to km is
10/16
5:8
So for every 5 miles there are 8 km

45/5 = 9
9 * 8 = 72

Let's Check the answer:

45/72
5:8

So, its correct. The answer is 72 km.
