    Answer:  200 miles

    ===============================================

    Work Shown:

    (1 inch)/(40 miles) = (5 inches)/(x miles)

    1/40 = 5/x

    1*x = 40*5 …. cross multiply

    x = 200 miles

    ————

    We could also look at it like this:

    1 inch = 40 miles

    5*(1 inch) = 5*(40 miles) …. multiply both sides by 5

    5 inches = 200 miles
