Answer:
32 mi
Step-by-step explanation:
Solve using proportions.
[tex]\frac{\frac{1}{2}in}{8 mi} =\frac{2in}{y}[/tex]
Find the scale factor (how to get from left to right)
To get from left numerator to right numerator, multiply by 4.
(1/2) X 4 = 2
The scale factor is 4.
Multiply the left denominator by the scale factor to get "y".
8 mi X 4 = 32 mi
Therefore 2 inches represent 32 miles.
