let's stick with ratios
4.5 km = 450000 cm
let x be the number of cm on the map
1/50000 = x/450000
x = 9 cm
4.5 km = 450000 cm
let x be the number of cm on the map
1/50000 = x/450000
x = 9 cm

The answer to this question is simple. Use ratios. It's more easier.
4.5 km = 450000 cm
let x be the number of cm on the map
1/50000 = x/450000
x = 9 cm
4.5 km = 450000 cm
let x be the number of cm on the map
1/50000 = x/450000
x = 9 cm
