Question

I've attached the question in the picture below.

Answer 1

at a map scale of 1:1500, 12 centimeters on the map is equivalent to 1.8 kilometers on the ground.

step-by-step

since the scale is 1 to 15,000 you simply multiply it by the 12 cm

12cm × 15,000 = 180,000

but you still have to convert it to kilometers (the measurement on the ground).

to go from centimeters to kilometers move the decimal 5 place values to the left.

final answer

1.8 kilometers
