A map scale reads : 2 inches = 25 miles. Witch distance does 6 inches represent

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.
