Answer 1

Answer:

96.7cm(approx.)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given, scale,

5cm— 120miles

So, 120 miles— 5cm

》1 mile — 5/120 cm

》2320miles— 5×2320/120

》2320miles— 96.7 cm. (approx.)

{Here, you will have to do a little bit calculation.}

Thus you get your answer as 96.7cm(approx.)

You can also use the concept of ratio-proportion in this case :—

5:120 :: x:2320 [Here, x is the reqd. length in cms.]

Thus you get the answer as 96.7cm, as well...
