<PRE><B>Question 408518</B>
on a road trip from Bostom to Miami, Nancy stopped in Baltimore which is 390 miles from Boston. If baltimore is 0.26 of the trip to miami, how far is it from Boston to Miami?
---
Let the distance from B to M be &quot;x&quot;.
Solve: 
0.26x = 390
x = 390/0.26 = 1500 miles
