On a map of India, the distance between Delhi and Kanyakumari is 6.4cm.If the actual distance is approximately 2368 Km, then the scale of the map will be:

Answer 1

Answer:

Given that the distance between City A and City B is 6 cm and that 1 cm on map represents 200 km

Using unitary method,

If 1 cm→200 km

then, 6 cm→200×6 km

⇒1200 km

We know that, 1 km=1000 m

∴ 1200 km=1200×1000 m

⇒1200000 m

Hence, the actual distance between City A and City B is 1200000 m
