Answer:

12 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]Scale= 1cm:2m[/tex]

Required

Determine the measurement when the scale reads 6cm

Represent this scale with x;

Such that:

[tex]Scale = 6cm:x[/tex]

Equate

[tex]Scale= 1cm:2m[/tex] and [tex]Scale = 6cm:x[/tex]

[tex]1cm:2m = 6cm:x[/tex]

Express as fraction

[tex]\frac{1cm}{2m} = \frac{6cm}{x}[/tex]

Cross Multiply

[tex]x * 1cm = 6cm * 2m[/tex]

[tex]x * 1 = 6 * 2m[/tex]

[tex]x = 6 * 2m[/tex]

[tex]x = 12m[/tex]
