    62.4 miles

    Step-by-step explanation:

    The way to determine this is to set up a proportion,

    5 cm/24 miles = 13 cm/x miles,

    and then solve for x by cross multiplying,

    5*x = 24*13.

    If you don't understand that step, try writing it out on paper with fractions instead of division signs. Next, solve.

    x = 62.4
