Answer:

360 km

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The scale of the map is

1:1,500,000

That means

1 cm on a map ------> represent 1.500.000 cm in the actual

or

1 cm on a map ------> represent 15,000 m in the actual

or

1 cm on a map ------> represent 15 km in the actual

therefore

In this problem

24 cm on a map-------> represent 24*15=360 km actually
