Question

5. A map is given with a scale of 2.5 cm = 100 km. What actual distance would 2 cm on the map show?
​

Answer 1

Answer:

80 KM

Step-by-step explanation:

1 CM =2.5/100 =40

2 CM = 2 X 40 = 80 KM

Answer 2

Answer:

80 km

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the actual distance be x.

According to Question,

2.5 : 2 : : 100 : x

=> 2.5/2 = 100/x

=> x = 100 × 2/2.5

=> x = 80

Hence, 2 cm on the map would represent 80 km.
