    2 inches : 25 miles

    1/4 inches : X miles

    2 divided by 1/4 = 8, so

    8X = 25

    25/8 = X

    3.125 = X

    Therefore, 1/4 inches represents 3.125 miles

    4 1/8 miles or 3.125 miles

    Step-by-step explanation:

    From the question

    2 inches = 25miles

    1/4 inch = x miles

    Cross multiply

    We have

    2inches x xmiles = 1/4 x 25

    2x = 25/4

    Divide both sides by 2

    2x/2 = 25/4 / 2

    x = 25/4 x 1/2

    x = 25/8

    x = 4 1/8 miles

    Or 3.125 miles
