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.
