Answer:

1 5/9 ich represent 21 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Proportions:

2/3  inch  ⇔   9 miles

M  inch   ⇔    21 miles

M = 21*(2/3) / 9

M = 14/9

14/9 = 9/9 + 5/9 = 1 + 5/9 = 1 5/9 inch

Answer:

14/9 inches, or an inch and 5/9 of an inch.

Step-by-step explanation:

If 2/3 inch is the same as 9 miles, then x inches represents 21 miles. We can then set up a proportion.

\frac{\frac{2}{3} }{9} =\frac{x}{21}

9 * x = (2/3) * 21

9x = 2 * 7

9x = 14

x = 14/9 inches.

Hope this helps!
