A road on the map measures 2.5 inches will be 15 miles long road in real-life.

First of all, let us try to understand what does the scale mean.

It says that 1 inch in the map is equal to 6 miles on road, in real life.

So, if 1 inch on the map signifies 6 miles on road,

By unitary method, 2.5 inches on the map will signify (6×2.5) miles on road

= 15 miles.

Thus, it will be 15 miles on road.
