Convert 15 minutes to seconds and then add to 48 seconds to start with.
15 minutes = 900 seconds

Then 900 seconds + 48 seconds = 948 seconds.

Here is the proportion:

2 miles/1 mile = 948 seconds/s
Solving equation for s, where s represents seconds, we get s = 474 seconds.

Convert 474 seconds to minutes by dividing 474/60.

474/60 = 7.9 minutes.
