Answer:

24 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

We can set up a ratio of 18 m / x cm = 3 m / 4 cm because we know that it's a scale.

Cross multiplying, we get 3x = 72. Divide both sides by 3 and we have x = 24 cm.

We can also consider it by just dividing 18 m by 3 m to find the scale factor, which is 6. We then multiply the 4 cm by 6 to get 24 cm as well.
