Answer:

The answer would be 12.

Step-by-step explanation:

I got 12 using the information we were given. Seeing as 8km is represented by 2cm, 1 cm would be 4km, right? (8 divided by 2 is 4.) So using that, we just need to multiply 4 by 3 to find what the 3km would be on the map.

12kilometers
If 2cm=8km, 1cm=4km
Multiply both by three and you get that 3cm=12km
