Answer:

600 meters

Explanation:

You have a map distance of 1.5 cm on a map with a scale of 1:40,000. You want to know the actual distance.

Scale

The map scale of 1:40,000 tells you the actual distance is 40,000 times the map distance:

(1.5 cm) × 40,000 = 60,000 cm = 600 m

The length of the bridge is 600 meters.
