Question
on a map 1/2 inch represents 50 miles. How long would a line need to be to represent 750 miles. so I thought I should divide 750 by 50 than multiply 15 { the answer I got } by 1/2 but I have a feeling its wrong

You could use a proportion.
(1/2)/50 = x/750
50x = 375
x = 7.5 inches
Your figures are right.
(1/2)/50 = x/750
50x = 375
x = 7.5 inches
Your figures are right.
