Answer 1

5 cm

===============

The scale is 2 cm represents 30 miles.

To find the distance on the map, we can set up a proportion:

• 2 cm / 30 miles = x cm / 75 miles

Cross multiply and solve for x:

• x cm = (2 cm * 75 miles) / 30 miles = 5 cm

Therefore, the distance between the towns on the map is 5 cm.
