Answer:

23.7 miles or 24 miles rounded

Explanation:

To do this, you only need to know the conversion of inch to mile. In this case, 1 inch equals 1.58x10^-5 miles, so:

1.5x10^6 inches * 1.58x10^-5 miles/inch = 23.7 miles

Now, as you want it to the nearest hundredth, the answer is simply 24 miles
