Answer:
The proportion that can be used is [tex]\frac{2}{15}\frac{inches}{miles}=\frac{30}{x}\frac{inches}{miles}[/tex]
The actual distance is [tex]225\ miles[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
The scale on a map is equal to
[tex]\frac{2}{15}\frac{inches}{miles}[/tex]
so
by proportion
Find how many miles are [tex]30[/tex] inches on the map
[tex]\frac{2}{15}\frac{inches}{miles}=\frac{30}{x}\frac{inches}{miles}\\ \\x=15*30/2\\ \\x=225\ miles[/tex]
