So if 1/2 = 18 miles, we want to first find how many sets of 1/2 are in 21/2. We can just do this by dividing.
(21/2) / (1/2) = 21
So we know that there are 21 sets of 1/2 in 21/2, and since 1/2 and 18 are equal, we can say we know there are 21 sets of 18.
We can multiply to find this.
21 * 18 = 378
So two towns are 378 miles apart.

Answer:
x =4
Step-by-step explanation:
x/y = 1/2
(x + 2) / (y + 1) = 2/3
Cross multiply the first equation
2x = y
Put that value for y into the second equation.
(x + 2) / (2x + 1) = 2/3 Cross multiply
3(x + 2) = 2(2x + 1) Remove the brackets.
3x + 6 = 4x + 2 Subtract 3x from both sides
6 = 4x - 3x + 2
6 = x + 2 Subtract 2 from both sides
6-2 = x
x = 4
