Answer 1

Answer: There are 45 miles that she have to travel to get to the next down.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

1 inch = 15 miles

If there are given 3 inches.

We need to find the number of miles she have to travel to get to travel to get to the next town.

So, it becomes,

$\dfrac{1}{15}=\dfrac{3}{x}\\\\x=15\times 3\\\\x=45\ miles$

Hence, there are 45 miles that she have to travel to get to the next down.
