Answer:
The real world distance in km between these two cities is 255
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
The scale on a map is 1 : 1,500,000
That means-----> 1 cm on a map represent 1,500,000 cm in the real world
or
1 cm on a map represent 15 km in the real world
so
using proportion
Find out the distance in the real world for 17 cm on the map
[tex]\frac{1}{15}=\frac{17}{x}\\\\x=15(17)\\ \\ x=255\ km[/tex]
