Question

If the map of Tripura is drawn with the scale 1:1,00,00,000. Thus, if the actual distance is 1,00,00,000 cm, then on the map it is represented as 1 cm. If the distance between two cities, Agartala and Manu is 110 km, find the distance between the two cities on the map.​

Answer 1

Solution: Let the distance between the two cities on the map be x cm and the actual distance be y cm.

y = 110 km = 1,10,00,000cm

The distance on the map and the actual distance the direction proportion.

Thus, 1/100,00,000 = x/y

>> 1/100,00,000 = x/110,00,000

>> x = 1.1

Hence, the distance between the two cities on the map is 1.1 cm
