Answer 1

The distance from Indiana to Louisville is 1.37 inches on map.

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance from texas to milwaukee = 1000 miles

Distance on map = 13.7 inches

Distance from indiana to louisville = 100 miles

Distance on map = x

Using proportion;

Distance from texas to milwaukee: distance on map :: Distance from indiana to louisville : Distance on map

$1000:13.7::100:x$

Product of mean = Product of extreme

$100*13.7=1000*x\\1370=1000x\\1000x=1370$

Dividing both sides by 1000;

$\frac{1000x}{1000}=\frac{1370}{1000}\\x=1.37\ inches$

The distance from Indiana to Louisville is 1.37 inches on map.
