Answer:

smaller distance = 108 Km

Explanation:

given the ratio of distances = 15 : 9

the 15 part of the ratio refers to the larger distance of 180 Km , then

dividing the distance by the part of the ratio gives the value of 1 part of the ratio.

180 Km ÷ 15 = 12 Km

the smaller distance = 9 × 12 Km = 108 Km
