Answer:

D. 1.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Map scale = 0.3 cm to ⅕ km

Let x represent the number of centimeters the map will use to show 1 km.

Thus:

0.3 cm : ⅕ km = x : 1 km

[tex] \frac{0.3cm}{0.2km} = \frac{x}{1km} [/tex]

Multiply both sides by 1 km

[tex] \frac{0.3}{0.2}*1 = \frac{x}{1}*1 [/tex]

[tex] \frac{0.3}{0.2} = x [/tex]

[tex] 1.5 = x [/tex]

x = 1.5 cm
