$\huge\underline\mathcal\red{Answer}$

• Multiplied by scale = 6.5 x 40,000 = 260,000 cm
• Convert to meters: 260,000cm / 100cm = 2600m
• Convert to km: 2600m / 1000 = 2.6km

Answer 2

Answer:

Multiplied by scale = 6.5 x 40,000 = 260,000 cm

Convert to meters: 260,000cm / 100cm = 2600m

Convert to km: 2600m / 1000 = 2.6km
