Answer: The mall is 12 miles from his home to the library.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of miles is from his home from the mall = 15 miles

The school is
(1)/(2) of the way from his home to the mall.

The library is
(2)/(5) of the way from your school to the mall.

According to question, it becomes,

$15=(1)/(2)x\\\\15* 2=x\\\\x=30\ miles$

So, the number of miles from his home to the library is
$(2)/(5)* 30=2* 6=12\ miles$

Hence, the mall is 12 miles from his home to the library.
