Use a proportion to solve the problem.
On a map of the Thunderbird Country Club golf course, 1.5 inches represent 45 yards. How long is the 6th hole if the map shows 16 inches?
A. 1,080 yards
B. 480 yards
C.720 yards
D. 4,219 yards
PLEASE HELP

Find the unit rate and multiply the "45" number (it won't actually be that once you find the unit rate) by 16. You should get your answer then. Don't put all your trust in me, though.
x/16 = 45/1.5
