Answer 2

38.5 miles

Explanation:

We know that the distance between Mia's house and her aunt's house is 15.4 inches apart.

We also know that every 4 inches on the map represent 10 miles.

4 inches = 10 miles

Divide :

1 inch = 2.5 miles

Multiply the shown distance in the question by the amount of miles per inch

15.4 * 2.5

= 38.5 miles in total.
