Answer 1

Answer:

Given that,

distance covered in map if she drive on road for 80km = 1cm

distance covered in map if she drive on

road for 72km = ?

Distance while (x) Distance (y)

driving on a road covered in map

80km (x1) 1cm (y1)

72km(x2) ?(y2)

x1/y1=x2/y2

80/1=72/y2 ( cross multiplication)

80 × y2 = 72 × 1

y2 = 72×1/80

y2 = 0.9 cm

Therefore , distance covered in map if she drive on road for 72km = 0.9 cm
