Answer:
12 cm = 21.62 miles
6 cm = 11.04 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the distance, set up a proportion. A proportion is two equal ratios set equal to each other. We form the ratios by using corresponding values. We write a ratio of 
and simplify.
We know 
. We know the distance on the map is 12 cm and 6 cm whish converts to 4.7 inches and 2.4 inches. We can write 
and 
We set them equal.
and
To solve each proportion, we'll cross multiply by multiplying numerator with denominator across the equal sign.
and
To solve this relationship simply make them equal to each other and find the correct value to multiply both the top and cotton numbers and solve,
In this case because of the initial ratio of 1:9, if the bonsai ficus is 6 then 54 inches would be the full size.
1st. Find the pattern
Pattern is dividing by 2.
24/2=12
12/2=6
6/2=3
The formula is y= k x where k is the constant of variation, so plug a coordinate in the formula to find value of k, lets get (3,12) you have 12 = 3k, then k = 4, if you get (9,36) then you have 36 = 9k where k = 4
