Ihave a map where indy and ft. wayne are 3 centimeters apart. kokomo and indy are 1.5 cm apart on the map. if i know that indy and ft. wayne are really 120 miles apart, how far would indy and kokomo be in real life?

Indy and kokomo will be 60 miles apart in real life.

Explanation

On the map, Indy and ft. Wayne are 3 cm apart and Kokomo and Indy are 1.5 cm apart.

So, the ratio of the distance between Indy and ft. Wayne to the distance between Kokomo and Indy will be:  

Now, lets assume that real distance between Indy and ft. Wayne is   cm and real distance between Kokomo and Indy is    cm.

Given that, the real distance between Indy and ft. Wayne is 120 miles.

That means....

So, Indy and kokomo will be 60 miles apart in real life.

2(2x + 3) = -4 + 2(2x + 5)

4x + 6 = -4 + 4x + 10

4x + 6 = 4x + 6

4x - 6 + 6 = 4x - 6 + 6

4x = 4x

x = x
