You can put this solution on YOUR website! In a scale drawing of New York State, 2.5 centimeters represents 10 kilometers. How many kilometers are represented by 10 centimeters?
---------------
Set up a proportion:
Let "x" be the number of kilometers represented by 10 centimeters:
[x km/10 cm] = [10 km/2.5 cm]
x km =(10 cm)[10 km/2.5 cm]
x km = 4[10 km]
x km =40 km
x=40
40 km is represented by 10 centimeters.
