    Since 2 inches = 25 inches, we can make a proportion to know which distance equals 6 inches.

    25/2=x/6

    Cross multiply

    25*6 = 150

    150 = 2x

    2x/2 = 150/2

    x = 75

    6 inches represents 75 miles.

    2 inches ... 25 miles

    6 inches ... x miles = ?

    If you would like to know how many miles 6 inches represent, you can calculate this using the following steps:

    2 * x = 25 * 6 / 2

    x = 25 * 6 / 2

    x = 75 miles

    The correct result would be 75 miles.
