Question

in a map if 1 inch refers to 120 km , then find the distance between two cities B and C which are 4 1/6 inches and 3 1/3 inches from city A which is in between the cities B and C ​

Answer 1

Answer:

Distance between B and C = 900 km

Step-by-step explanation:

On Map

1 inch = 120 km

And

Distance between B and A = 25/6 inches

Distance between C and A = 10/3 inches

So

Distance Between B and C = Distance between B and A + Distance between C and A

Putting values we get

Distance Between B and C = 25/6 inches + 10/3 inches

                                            = 25/6 + 20/6 = 45/6 inches

Now

Since

1 inch = 120 km

Multiplying by 45/6 on both sides we get

46/6 inches = (45/6)120 km = 45(20) = 900 km

Thus

Distance between B and C = 900 km
