Answer:

525 miles.

Explanation:

In order to solve this you first have to calculate how much days are there in 5 weeks, so you multiply 7 which is the number of days in a week by 5 which is the number of weeks that we wish to know:

5*7=35

Now we multiply that by the number of miles a day that we can fill:

35*15=525 miles

So now we know that we can fill 525 miles of train box cars with the papers recycling of 5 weeks.
