Answer 1

The answer is 52.5 miles away.

First, you need to divide 15 and 2 by 2 to get a unit rate: 1 cm = 7.5 miles.

Then you multiply both numbers by 7: 7 cm = 52.5 miles.

Answer 2

52.5 miles

Explanation:

2cm = 15

divide that by 2 to find out how many miles represent 1 cm

1cm = 7.5

multiply the following ^ by the # you need to find which in this instance is 7

7.5 x 7 = 52.5

therefore,

7 centimeters is worth 52.5 miles
