Answer:

[tex]52.5\ miles[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The scale on the map is equal to

[tex]\frac{2}{15}\frac{cm}{miles}[/tex]

so

by proportion

Find how many miles are [tex]7\ cm[/tex] on the map

[tex]\frac{2}{15}\frac{cm}{miles}=\frac{7}{x}\frac{cm}{miles}\\ \\x=15*7/2\\ \\x=52.5\ miles[/tex]
