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.
