Answer: 5.76 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the distance between Victoria and Georgetown on the map be represented by x.

The information given in the question can then be formed into an expression which will be:

0.9/x = 10.5/67.2

Cross multiply

(10.5 × x) = 67.2 × 0.9

10.5x = 60.48

x = 60.48/10.5

x = 5.76

The answer is 5.76 miles
