Question

In a map a distance of 600 km between two places A and B is represented by 5 cm what will be the actual distance between A and C represented by 8 cm?

Answer 1

step by step
$\frac{600}{5} = 120 \\ 8 \times 120 = 960 \: km$

Answer 2

5cm =600km
5cm=600×1000cm
=600000cm
1cm=(600000/5)cm
=120000
8cm=8×120000
=960000cm
=960000/1000
=960km
