Question

on the scale of a map, 4 cm represents 20 km. if the distance between two points is 10 cm, what is the actual distance between these points? ( hint: find the scale for 1 cm and multiply it by 10.)

Answer 1

Answer:

50 km

Step-by-step explanation:1 cm = 20/4 =5

1 cm = 5 km

so,10 cm = 5*10=50 km

Answer 2

The answer is 50 km

GIVEN

On the scale of a map, 4 cm represents 20 km. if the distance between two points is 10 cm.

TO FIND

what is the actual distance between these points?

SOLUTION

We can simply solve the above problem as follows;

It is given that,

On a scale map-

20 km is represented by 4cm

Applying the simple unitary method;

Kilometers represented by 4cm = 20 km

Kilometer represented by 1 cm = 20/4 = 5km

The difference between two points = 10cm

Kilometer represented by 10 cm = 10 × 5 = 50km

Hence, The answer is 50 km
