Question 1150628
.
<pre>

Use the proportion


    {{{5/38}}} = {{{x/57}}}.


From the proportion, get  x = {{{(5*57)/38}}} = {{{(5*3)/2}}} = 2.5*3 = 7.5 miles.   <U>ANSWER</U>



Another way to solve is to notice that 57 is  {{{3/2}}}  of 38.


Then the value to answer is  {{{3/2}}}  of 5 miles, which is  7.5 miles.
