Real World Ratio Problem Using Scale

The video tutorial explains how to solve a real-world ratio problem using a map scale. It begins by introducing the problem of finding the actual distance between two towns using a map scale where 1 inch represents 18 miles. The tutorial then sets up a proportion to solve for the unknown distance, using the cross product property to calculate the result. The final calculation shows that the actual distance is 81 miles.

Describe the steps taken to calculate the actual distance using the cross product property.
