Question

Set up a proportion that represents the scenario:
Khalid is going on a holiday to Vancouver. The distance from Edmonton to Vancouver is about 1 160 km. On a map, 1 cm represents 100 km. The distance on the map is 11.6 cm.

Answer 1

Answer:

116000000:10000000 :: 116:10

Step-by-step explanation:

Actual distance is directly proportional to associated representation on a map.

Therefore, $\frac{Actual Distance 1}{Actual Distance 2} = \frac{Map Representation 1}{Map Representation 2}$

$=> \frac{Distance from Edmonton to Vancouver}{100 km} = \frac{11.6 cm}{1 cm}$

$=> \frac{1160 km}{100 km}$ $= \frac{11.6 cm}{1 cm}$

$=> \frac{116000000}{10000000}$ $= \frac{116}{10}$  [converting kilometers to centimeters]

116000000:10000000 :: 116:10
