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

80 km perfectly done

Answer 2

Answer:

Hence 2cm=80km is the actual distance show in the map.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the above question, the given details are as below,

A scale of a map is 2.5cm = 100km  

what is actual distance would 2 cm on the map show.

Thus, the distance of 1cm is as bellow,

$=\frac{100}{2.5}$

Decimal adjusting so removing decimal from denominator but adjusted in numerator with adding zero we get,

$=\frac{1000}{25}\\=\frac{200}{5}\\1cm=40km$

So, for 2cm the actual distance will be as follow,

$=40\times 2\\2cm=80km$
