Answer:
~ x = 12 centimeters of the route on map ~
Step-by-step explanation:
Let us plan out our steps, and solve for each:
1. We can see that we have to determine the cm of the route on the map, so let us convert the 1.8 kilometers ⇒ centimeters:
1.8 km = 180,000 cm
2. Given the information, let us create a proportionality as such:
1 = 15,000 ⇒ x - centimeters of the route on the map
x 180,000
3. Now let us cross multiply, and solve through simple algebra for x:
15,000 * x = 180,000,
x = 12 centimeters of the route on map
