Answer 1

6 kilometers

Explanation:

;)

Answer 2

The real distance is
`600,000\ cm` or
`6\ km`

Explanation:

we know that

The scale of the map is
`1:1,000,000`

that means

1 cm in the map-------> represent 1,000,000 cm in the actual (real distance)

so

by proportion

`(1)/(1,000,000)=(0.6)/(x)\\ \\x=0.6*1,000,000\\ \\x=600,000\ cm`

Remember that

`1\ km=100,000\ cm`

so

`600,000\ cm=6\ km`
