    Step-by-step explanation:

    Map and road distances are proportional, so you can write ...

    (10 mi) / (1 5/8 in) = (x mi) / (2 1/4 in)

    Multiplying by 2 1/4 in gives ...

    x mi = (10 mi) (2 1/4) / (1 5/8)

    = (10 mi) (18/8) / (13/8) = 180/13 mi ≈ 13.85 mi

    The distance represents about 13.85 miles.
