Answer 2

Answer:

$36000000$ meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The scale of the map has been given in the question as $1:4000$

It has also been mentioned in the question that on the map the distance between two houses is $9$ cm.

Solution:

We know that $1$ cm on a map represents $4000$ km on earth.

Therefore, to calculate what 9 cm would represent, we will simply multiply $9$ with $4000$.

Hence,$9$ cm on map represents  $9 \times 4000 = 36000$ km on earth.

Final Answer:

The actual distance between the houses is $36000000$ meters.
