Answer:

6 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

6 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Scale is 1 cm on map = 30 km on road

That is, 1 cm on map represents 30 km on road.

Distance covered in map when the distance traveled on road is 30 km = 1 cm

Distance covered in map when the distance traveled on road is 180 km = ?

So, distance covered in map when the distance traveled on road is 180 km =

Distance traveled on road/Distance traveled when distance covered in map is 1 cm
