Scale of map,

1 cm = 15 km

Ratio of cm to km = 1:15

Distance on map = 2.5 cm

Let,

x represents the actual distance for 2.5 cm

Ratio of cm to km = 2.5:x

Using proportion

Ratio of cm to km :: Ratio of cm to km

[tex]1:15::2.5:x\\[/tex]

Product of extreme = Product of mean

[tex]1*x = 15*2.5\\x=37.5[/tex]

The actual distance is 37.5 kilometers.
