Answer: 25.5 cm.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given distance between NY and Boston = 306 kilometers.
We are given scale factor of map in cm = 1:1,200,000.
1 km in cm = 100000cm.
Therefore,
306 km in cm = 30600000
Therefore, each 1 kilometer is equal to 1/1200000th km on the map.
Therefore,
306 kilometers = [tex]30600000 \times \frac{1}{1200000}[/tex]
= 25.5 cm.
Therefore, it is 25.5 cm on a map drawn at a scale of 1:1,200,000.
