The scale is given inches/ miles equal 1/50. This means that 1 inch is equal to 50 miles.

We can use the rule of three to find the real value.

Then

1 inch --------------------------- 50miles

2.5 inches x

Where x=(2.5inch*50miles)/1 inch

x = 125 miles

For 4.75 inches​

1 inch --------------------------- 50miles

4.75 inches--------------------- x

Where x =(4.75 inch*50miles)/1inch

x = 237.5 miles
