7 was because i added the amount of inches away they were

so i added 2+5 to get 7
Answered by Bob
Why would you add 2+5?

geeeshhh ....

2 inches represent 35 miles
1 inch represents 35/2 or 17.5 miles, so
5 inches represent 17.5(5) or 87.5 miles
Answered by Olivia
35+35+17.5=87.5
17.5 because half of 35.
