2 inches ... 25 miles
6 inches ...
x miles = ?
If you would like to know how many miles 6 inches represent, you can calculate this using the following steps:
2 * x = 25 * 6
/2
x = 25 * 6 / 2
x = 75 miles
The correct result would be
75 miles

Since 2 inches = 25 inches, we can make a proportion to know which distance equals 6 inches.
25/2=x/6
Cross multiply
25*6= 150
150= 2x
2x/2= 150/2
x= 75
6 inches represents 75 miles.
