Here's how I would do it.

Explanation:

The correct name for the compound is trans-1-chloro-3-isopropylcyclohexane.

Draw a structure for cyclohexane.

1

Put a wedge and a dash on each of "C1"C1 and "C3"C3.

2

The two groups are trans to each other. Put the chlorine atom on a wedge at "C1"C1 and the isopropyl group on a dash at "C3"C3.

3

Put "H"H atoms on the remaining wedge and dash.

4

Now you have a perspective formula for trans-1-chloro-3-isopropylcyclohexane.
