A map has a scale 6.5 in=32 miles.  How far apart are two cities that are 97.5  inches apart on the map?

     32                x     

   –––––   =    –––––     

     6.5             97.5     

 

    (6.5) x  =  (97.5) (32)     

 

    (6.5) x  =  3120     

 

            x  =  3120 / 6.5  =  480
