To answer this question you will set up the proportion shown in the attached picture.
There are 2 ways to solve this.
1. You can create an equivalent ratio by determining the factor that will take you from 1 cm to 2 cm and apply his factor to the 19 miles.
The answer would be 19 x 2= 38 miles for 2 centimeters.
2. The second strategy is to use cross products to get an answer. You multiply the number diagonal from each other. See picture for this work.
