Options:

A.0.25 centimeter = 3 kilometers

B.0.4 centimeter = 8 kilometers

C.0.75 centimeter = 15 kilometers

D.3 centimeters = 60 kilometers

E.6 centimeters = 144 kilometers

Answer:

B, C, D

Explanation:

Distance between the two locations :

On map = 0.75 centimeter

Actual = 15 km

Using the scale drawing notation :

On map : actual

0.75 cm : 15 km

Therefore,

Actual / on map

15 / 0.75 = 20

This means :

1 cm on map represents 20 km on land

0.25 cm on map = (20 * 0.25) = 5 kilometers

0.4 cm on map = (20 * 0.4) = 8 kilometers

0.75 cm on map = (20 * 0.75) = 15 kilometers

3 cm on map = (20 * 3) = 60 kilometers

6 cm on map = (20 * 6) = 120 kilometers

Hence, only options B, C and D are correct
