Answer: 48 miles

Explanation:

From the question, the distance between Franklin City and Williamsville on a map is 3.2 inches and the scale of the map is 1 inch = 15 miles.

The distance between the cities will be to multiply 3.2 by 15 to get the number of miles since 1 inch = 15 miles. This will be:

= 3.2 × 15 miles.

= 48 miles

The distance between Franklin City and Williamsville is 48 miles.
