we write the relation

1/8in is 12 miles, how much miles is 4 inches?

[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{1}{8}\longrightarrow12 \\ \\ 4\longrightarrow x \end{gathered}[/tex]

where x is the number of miles to 4 inches

we can use cross multiplication to find x

multiply diagonal numbers (4 and 12) and dividing between 1/8 we obtain the value of x

[tex]\begin{gathered} x=\frac{4\times12}{\frac{1}{8}} \\ \\ x=6 \end{gathered}[/tex]

then the distance between two cities is 6 miles
