Answer 1

Answer:

Distance between 2 cities= 550km

But In the map, given as = 11 cm

First convert them into same units

that is

Convert 550km in cm

550 km= 550,000m= 55,000,000cm

And now , divide it by 11

55,000,000÷11=5,000,000

Therefore in the scale

1 unit= 5,000,000cm

that is 5,000,000÷1000=5000m=5000/100=5km

Therefore

in the map

1 unit= 5km
