Answer:
Each unit on the map corresponds to 24,000 units on earth.

Step-by-step explanation:
If the units are in meters, then 1 meter on the map means 24,000 m on earth.
For example, if the map measures 0.2 meters between two cities, the actual distance between the cities is 0.2 x 24,000 = 4,800 meters.
