Answer 1

Answer:

125 km

Step-by-step explanation:

If 1 unit on the map is equal to 2500000 units in actual distance, how about 5cm on the map?

$1=2500000\\5=?$

We apply cross-multiplication,

$distance=\frac{5*2500000}{1} \\distance=12500000cm$

But we have to convert this figure into kilometers.

We know that

$1km=1000m\\and\\1m=100cm\\\\therefore,\\\\1km=(1000*100)cm\\1km=100000cm$

So, the actual distance between the two towns in km is given as;

$distance=\frac{12500000}{100000} \\distance= 125 km$
