If the markers are 4.5 inches away on the map, and 2.5 inches represents 10 miles, then we need to make ratios we can work with.
Inches / Miles:
4.5 / x
2.5 / 10
Now, we can cross multiply to end up with:
2.5 * x = 4.5 * 10
Simplify:
2.5x = 45
Divide 2.5 on each side:
2.5x / 2.5 = 45 / 2.5
Simplify:
x = 45 / 2.5
x = 18
Awesome! Now we have a real ratio on the real distance of the markers.
<span>2.5 : 10 & 4.5 : </span><span>18.
</span>
18 miles is the actual distance between the two markers.
Hope I could help! If my math is wrong, or it isn't the answer you are looking for, please let me know!

Step-by-step explanation:
y=2.5| ?
x=0.5| 20
It'll be criss-crossed then it'll be:-
2.5×20=50
The formula for slope is y=mx+b
so if you re arrange the equation from 8y-16x=12
to 8y=16x+12
the slope will be the coefficient of x =16
<u>To find the constant of proportionality:</u>
⇒ must define constant of proportionality
⇒ <em>Constant of Proportionality: ratio of two proportional values at a </em>
constant value
⇒ (in this case) two proportional values are x and y
<u>The ratio between x and y is equal to</u>
<u>Answer:</u> <u>55</u> or <u>Choice 1</u>

Hope that helps!
