The scale on a map shows that 200 miles is represented by 5 inches on a map. Which proportion can be used to find the distance on the map, x, that represents 50 miles?
StartFraction 5 over 200 EndFraction = StartFraction x over 50 EndFraction
StartFraction 200 over 5 EndFraction = StartFraction x over 50 EndFraction
StartFraction 50 over 200 EndFraction = StartFraction 5 over x EndFraction
StartFraction 5 over 50 EndFraction = StartFraction x over 200 EndFraction

StartFraction 5 over 200 EndFraction = StartFraction x over 50 EndFraction

(So x = (5/200)*50 = 1.25 inches.)
