Question

Here is a map of a town. It has a scale of 1 : 200,000. A centimetre ruler is shown on the map. What is the real-life distance between the park and the theatre? Give your answer in km.

Answer 1

Answer:

6 km

Step-by-step explanation:

distance between the park and the theatre in the map = 3 cm

let real life distance = x

given,

3/x = 1/200,000

=> x = 3×200,000 = 6,00,000 cm = 6000 m = 6 km
