Answer:

7.32 in (nearest hundredth)

or 7.324 in (nearest thousandth)

Step-by-step explanation:

inches : miles

A : B = C : D

6.875 : 4469 = y : 4761

6.875 / 4469 = y / 4761

y = (6.875 / 4469) x 4761

y = 7.32 in (nearest hundredth)

y = 7.324 in (nearest thousandth)

Answer:

the distance between cities C and D is 7.3242 inches.

given:

  • city A and city B is 6.875 inches, actually 4469 miles apart.
  • city C and city D is x inches, actually 4761 miles apart

solve similarities:

[tex]\hookrightarrow \sf \dfrac{6.875}{x} = \dfrac{4469}{4761}[/tex]

[tex]\hookrightarrow \sf 4469(x) = 6.875*4761[/tex]

[tex]\sf 4469x = 32731.875[/tex]

[tex]\hookrightarrow \sf x = \dfrac{32731.875}{4469}[/tex]

[tex]\hookrightarrow \sf x = 7.3242[/tex]
