Calculation:
As we know that from the definition, a mathematical equation signifying equality of two ratios is called a proportion. Proportion is used when three quantities are known and fourth quantity is unknown. We can use equality of two ratios for finding the fourth unknown quantity. For example: ab=cd is a proportion.
As we know that 1 miles =1.6 Kilometers.
So, we can write in the form of ratio as 1 mile1.6 km.
Let us suppose 520 miles =x Kilometers
So, we can write in the form of ratio as 520 milex km
As per the definition of proportion both ratio should be equal. i.e.
1 mile1.6 km=520 milesx km
Applying cross multiplication.
1×x=520×1.6
x=832 miles
Hence, we can say that distance between San Diego to California is 832 Kilometers.
