Question

4. Which ratio is greater
5. A map is given with a scale of 2 cm = 100 km. What actual distance would 3.5 cm on the map show?
​

Answer 1

Answer:

175 km

Step-by-step explanation:

The map is similar to the original ⇒ the distance is in proportional relation.

$\frac{2cm}{100km}$ = $\frac{3.5cm}{xkm}$

after cross multiplication:

2x = 100 × 3.5

x = 175 km
