We can draw the situation as:

So, if L is the midpoint of JM, JL is equal to LM and JM is equal to 2 times JL

JL = LM

JL + LM = JM

JL + JL = JM

2JL = JM

We can calculate JM using JL as:

2JL = JM

2*15 = JM

30 = JM

Then, if K is the midpoint of JL, JK is equal to KL and JL is 2 times JK

JL = 2JK

Replacing JL by 15, we get:

15 = 2JK

15/2 = JK

7.5 = JK

Finally, KM can be calculated as:

KM = JM - JK

KM = 30 - 7.5

KM = 22.5

Answer: 22.5
