Answer:

15 Miles

Step-by-step explanation: set it up as a proportion

[tex]\frac{1}{5}[/tex]=[tex]\frac{3}{x}[/tex] put your inches with your inches and you miles with your miles to make it equal

then cross multiply. 5 times 3 is 15 and x times one is 1x.

then you just divide it 15/1x= 15

and the you got your answer 15.
