Answer 1

i think this will help you

Step-by-step explanation:

1cm on a map represents 4000000

5cm on a map represents =5×4000000=20,000,000‬cm

1km=1000m

1m=100cm

∴1km=1000×100=100000cm

∴100000cm=1km

∴20,000,000‬cm=10000020,000,000‬km=200km

Thus, the actual distance between two towns is 200km.

Answer 2

Answer:

1cm on a map represents 4000000

5cm on a map represents =5×4000000=20,000,000‬cm

1km=1000m

1m=100cm

∴1km=1000×100=100000cm

∴100000cm=1km

∴20,000,000‬cm=

100000

20,000,000‬

km=200km

Thus, the actual distance between two towns is 200km.
