Use proportions to solve the following problems.

1. On a map, inch represents 14 miles. If two cities are 42 miles apart, how far apart are
4
they on the map?
Let’s set up a proportion:
3
in. represents 14 miles.
4
x in. represent 42 miles.
3 ¿
∈ ¿
One way to set up a proportion (as ratios): 4 14 mi
x ∈¿= ¿
42mi
3
another way (as rates): ∈ ¿ =x ∈ ¿ ¿ ¿
4 14 mi 42 mi
3
Using any of the proportions and cross-produce property, we will get: × 42=14 x ,
