Answer 1

Answer:

30,00,000

Step-by-step explanation:

if we use the direct variation method then 1/500000=6/x

x= 3000000

Answer 2

1cm on a map represents 4000000

5cm on a map represents =5×4000000=20,000,000‬cm

1km=1000m

1m=100cm

∴1km=1000×100=100000cm

∴100000cm=1km

∴20,000,000‬cm=

100000

20,000,000‬

​

km=200km

Thus, the actual distance between two towns is 200km.
