Question

the distance between towns is 924 miles. On a map, this represented by a length of 7 inches. On the same map how many inches would there be between two cities 1584 miles apart.

Answer: 12 inches

Explanation:

1: place the units in the ratios (make sure they match, you should label the numbers in your work so you know put the units in right unlike what i did in my work) and cross multiply

2: divide both sides by 924 in. to get x by itself

3. x = 12 in.
