In any triangle, the sum of the interior angles is always \(180^\circ\). Given that \(\angle J\) measures \(47^\circ\) and \(\angle W\) measures \(15^\circ\), we can find the measure of \(\angle R\) by using the following formula:

\[
m\angle R = 180^\circ - (m\angle J + m\angle W)
\]

Substituting the given angle measures:

\[
m\angle R = 180^\circ - (47^\circ + 15^\circ)
\]
\[
m\angle R = 180^\circ - 62^\circ
\]
\[
m\angle R = 118^\circ
\]

Thus, the measure of \(\angle R\) is \(118^\circ\). Therefore, the correct answer is:

m∠R=118.
