Question

A map has a scale of 1 cm: 50 m.
The distance between 2 shops is 4.5 cm.
What is the actual distance between the shops?​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

1 cm:50 m

Distance between 2 shops is 4.5 cm

Therefore, Distance between two shops = 4.5×50 = 225 m.

Answer 2

Answer:

$\Large{\boxed{\red{\underline{225 Meters}}}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

On map, a simple small unit is choosen, so that big units can be expressed by small units.

The scale of the map is 1 cm = 50 meters, So, every 1 cm on map is 5000 cm or 50 meters.

Given, is the distance on the map between two towns is 4.5 cm. Means 4.5 cm is the smaller unit.

(We have, 1 cm = 50 m)

So, by solving we get,

$\boxed{\red{\underline{4.5 \times 50 = 225}}}$

So, the answer is $\boxed{\red{\underline{225 Meters}}}$

Meter is the bigger unit so after solving we choose bigger unit in the answer.
