nice dude keep thinking you will get it

Scale : 1in is 100 miles

If you look at it as a fraction, where the distances on the map equal the actual distances, you get this:

1/0.5 = 100/x

x is the unknown, because you don't know what 0.5 in is equal to. From here, you can cross-multiply to get x.

1 * x = 100 * 0.5

x = 50 (because 0.5 = 1/2 and half of 100 is 50)

Therefore, 0.5in = 50 miles in real life.

A simpler way to think about it is like this:

1in = 100 miles

0.5in = ?

To get 0.5in from 1in, you divide by 2. That means to get from 100 to the ?, you also divide by 2 because the two equations are proportional.

100/2 = 50.
