Explanation:

From the question,

A map has a scale of 1: 1250000.

We are told that:

On a map, The cave of truth is 1.9cm away from the waterfall of dreams.

How far away are they in real life?

This is calculated as:

1 = 1250000

1.9 = x

Cross Multiply

x = 1.9 × 1250000

x = 2,375,000

Therefore, there distance in real life = 2,375,000
