Set up a ratio:
25mi = 200mi
-------- = ----------
.75in = x in
cross multiply and solve
25x = 150
x = 6 inches apart

200/24 x 3/4 = 8 x 3/4 = 6 inches

It's a ratio problem. 3/4 in. is to 25 mi. as x in. is to 200 miles. You can use fractions:
(3/4) / 25 = x / 200
then multiply both sides by 200
(3/4)*8 = x
x = 6 in.

there are 4 quarters (a million/4) in an entire and you have 5 there are 2 quarters in a million/2 SOOOO---4 circumstances 5 is 20 and an then you certainly upload 2 for the a million/2 providing you with 22. Multiply 22 circumstances 15 and you get 340 making the gap between cities A and B 340 miles.

200/25 = 8
8*3/4 = 3 inches
