1. **State the problem:** We are given the ratio of the height to the horizontal distance of Baldwin Street as 1:1.34, and the height it rises is 47 m. We need to find the horizontal distance it covers. 2. **Understand the ratio:** The ratio 1:1.34 means for every 1 unit of height, the horizontal distance is 1.34 units. 3. **Set up the proportion:** Let the horizontal distance be $x$ meters. Then, $$\frac{\text{height}}{\text{horizontal distance}} = \frac{1}{1.34} = \frac{47}{x}$$ 4. **Solve for $x$:** Cross-multiply to get $$1 \times x = 1.34 \times 47$$ 5. **Calculate the product:** $$x = 1.34 \times 47 = 62.98$$ 6. **Interpret the result:** The horizontal distance covered by the street is approximately 62.98 meters. **Final answer:** $$\boxed{62.98 \text{ meters}}$$
