Answer:
Actual distance between the two towns = 189 km
Step-by-step explanation:
Scale of map is 1:54,00,000
=> 1 cm = 54,00,000 cm
=> 1 cm = 54,000 m .........(100 cm = 1m)
=> 1 cm = 54 km ................(1000 m = 1km)
Hence, 1 cm on the map represents actual distance of 54 km
Thus, 3.5 cm will stand for 3.5*54 = 189 km
The actual distance between the two towns is 189 km
