Answer: <u>The 2 roads are 1.25 miles apart.</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

If 1 inch equals .25 miles, then you need to multiply .25 by 5.

Use proportions. Make sure the miles are on the same "side" of the fraction. Side meaning the top or the bottom

$\frac{1}{.25} =\frac{5}{x}$

1 times X equals 1x

.25 times 5 equals 1.25

1.25 divided by 1 equals 1.25.
