The distance between the two towns is 75 miles.
We know that the scale of the map is 1 inch to 30 miles, this means that any measure that we get in inches in the map, should be multiplied by 30 to get the real measure in miles.
In this case, we know that in the map, the distance between the two towns is (4 + 1/2) inches.
Then the real distance in miles is given by:
d = (4 + 1/2)*30mi = 60mi + 15mi = 75mi
The distance between the two towns is 75 miles.
