Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
1/4 inch=12 miles Harrisburg and Leighton= 4.5 inches
1) Set up a proportion: ¼ /12 miles = 4.5 inches/ x miles
(inches across from inches
miles across from miles )
2) Use cross-products to solve: ¼x= 12(4.5)
¼x/¼ = 54/ ¼
x=216miles
The distance between Harrisburg and Leighton is 216miles
