Question

8. A distance of 180 km between two cities is represented on a map by 6 cm. If the distance between two other towns is represented by
by 5 cm on the map, what is the actual distance between them?​

Answer 1

Answer:

180 = x

6 5

Cross multiply

180×5 = 6×x

900. = 6x

x= 900/6=150

Answer 2

Answer:

$since \: 6cm = 180km \\ so \: 1cm = \frac{180}{6} = 30km \\ 5cm = \: 30 \times 5 = 150km \\ actual \: distane \: between \: two \: other \: towns = 150km$
