Question

A map of the world is drawn on the scale 1:21,00,00,000.The scaling is done in centimeter.If the distance between two major towns in the map is 2.5cm,find the distance between the cities in kilometers ​

Answer 1

Answer:

Scaling of map in cm =1:4000000

Distance between two places in map =3cm

∴ Actual distance between these two places =3∗4000000=12000000cm

We can convert it into km by dividing it by 105.

Actual distance between these two places in km =12000000105=120km
