Answer:

240 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you are going to determine the ratio of centimeters to miles (1:15)

Since there are 15 miles to every centimeter, you may create an equation like this to help: 15 x c = m (m being miles and c being centimeters)

This means that for every centimeter there are 15 miles.

Since the distance between Town A and Town B is 16 centimeters, you may replace the variable "c" with 16 like so: 15 x 16 = m

Because there are 15 miles for every centimeter, you may multiply the centimeters by 15 to get the distance, using the aforementioned equation of 15 x 16 = m. 15 times 16 is 240.

Therefore there are 240 miles separating Town A and Town B.

Hope this helps!
