1 cm represents 7 km
19cm represent 7*19=133km

This just means that since 1 cm = 7 km, you should multiply the total centimeters between the cities by 7 and label it as kilometers.
19*7=133
Your answer is 133 km

Set up a proportion:
1 cm / 7 km = 19 cm / x
When you cross multiply, x = (7)(19) = 133 km
