Answer 2

Answer:

Distance between the two places A and C = 87.5 Km

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Distance of 50 km between two places A and B is represented by 4 cm

To find : Distance between A and C which are 7 cm apart

Solution : Distance represented on the map by 4 cm = 50 km

$\text{Distance represented on the map by 1 cm = }\frac{50}{4}\\\\ \text{Distance represented on the map by 7 cm = }\frac{50}{4}\times 7=87.5\text{ km}$

Hence, Distance between the two places A and C = 87.5 Km
