Answer:
8 centimeters of the route on map
Step-by-step explanation:
Let us plan out our steps, and solve for each:
1. Knowing that we have to determine the cm on the map, let us first convert
1.2 kilometers ⇒ centimeters:
1.2 km = 120,000
2. Given the information, let us create a proportionality as such:
1 = 15,000 ⇒ x - cm of the route on the map
x 120,000
2. Now let us cross multiply, and solve through simple algebra:
15,000 * x = 120,000
x = 8 centimeters of the route on map
