Answer 2

As per the data give in the above question.

It is given that A distance of 2 cm on a map represents an actual distance of 10 km.

We have to find the the actual distance between the two places in kilometers, if the distance on the map is 2.5 cm.

Thus, we have to calculate the distance of 1 cm,

That is ,$=\frac{10}{2}=km$

So, 1cm = 5km,

Therefore 2.5cm in terms of kilometer is as follow,

$=2.5\times 5\\=12.5km$

Therefore 12.5km is the actual distance between the two places in kilometers.
