Distance covered by Rashmi= $72km$

To find out:

The Distance covered on the map by her?

Step 2: Finding out the distance covered on the map

As we know,

Rashmi has a road map with a scale of $1cm$ representing $18km$

So, $18kmofdistancerepresents=1cmonmap$

Therefore, $72kmofdistancerepresents=\frac{1}{18}\times 72cm$

$=4cm$

Hence, the distance covered on the map by her is $4cm$
