(1/2) / 15 = x / 50......1/2 in. to 15 miles = x inches to 50 miles
cross multiply because this is a proportion
(15)(x) = (50)(1/2)
15x = 25
x = 25/15
x = 5/3 or 1 2/3 inches <==

Simplify 3 over 2 x 3 over 2 exact answer
nikitadnepr [17]

ANSWER : 9 over 4

or 2 and 1/4

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

*3 over 2 x 3 over 2 is 3/2 x 3/2* << this is for me to remember

Okay so multiplying fractions means for us to multiply across. That means if we line the fractions, we multiply. Like this

 3     x     3

-----         -----                3 times 3 is = 9

 2     x     2                  2 times 2 is = 4

9 over 4 is the same thing as 2 and 1/4  << FRACTION    

                                                ^^      

                                           WHOLE

Hope I helped (:
