Answer:
Centimeters Mapped: 8.4 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
Let us plan out our steps, and solve for each:
1. If we want to determine the cm of the route on the map, let us first convert 2.1 kilometers ⇒ centimeters: 2.1 km = 210,000
2. Given such, let us create a proportionality as such:
1 = 25,000 ⇒ x - route in cm mapped out
x 210,000
3. Now let us cross multiply, and solve through simple algebra:
210,000 = 25,000 * x,
x = 8.4 centimeters marked by a route on the map
