for Audra Wolowiec and Gary Schultz

            Each a Step Closer

            NY / LA                

            Audra lives in New York:  (40.7 N, 74 W)
            Gary lives in Los Angeles: (34 N, 118.3 W)

            Using the step ratios from the scale below, they find new coordinates:

            (180 - (9/8 (90))) - 40.7 =   38        (180 - (19/10 (90))) - 34 =         25
            (360 - (9/8 (180))) - 74  =   83.5    (360 - (19/10 (180))) - 118.3 =   100.3

            Coordinates are used as absolute values and then returned to their original sign (hemisphere).

            Gary travels to Monterrey, Mexico: (25 N, 100.3 W)
            Audra travels to Daniel Boone National Forest in Kentucky: (38 N, 83.5 W)

            Audra's 9/8 ratio is a whole-step up (about 575 miles), and Gary's 19/10 ratio is a half-step down (about 1550 miles).
