1 answer

Since the scale is 2 inches = 250 miles, you can create a proportion to find the number of miles from Dallas to Spring.

Let "x" be the number of miles from Dallas to Spring.

Using the proportion:

2 inches / 250 miles = 8 inches / x

Cross-multiplying, we have:

2 * x = 8 * 250

2x = 2000

Dividing both sides by 2, we get:

x = 1000

Therefore, it is 1000 miles from Dallas to Spring.
