Answer:

14/9 inches, or an inch and 5/9 of an inch.

Step-by-step explanation:

If 2/3 inch is the same as 9 miles, then x inches represents 21 miles. We can then set up a proportion.

[tex]\frac{\frac{2}{3} }{9} =\frac{x}{21}[/tex]

9 * x = (2/3) * 21

9x = 2 * 7

9x = 14

x = 14/9 inches.

Hope this helps!
