Question

The distance between Ravi's home and his school is 1,500 m. The distance between his
home and temple is 900 m. A map is drawn to represent Ravi's home, Ravi's school and
the temple. On this map the distance between Ravi's home and his school is 5 cm.
(a) Find the scale of the map drawn
(b) What is the distance between Ravi's home and the temple on the map?​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

from house to school

actual distance =1500m

map distance =5cm

scale = actual distance for 1cm

scale =

$\frac{1500}{5}$

therefore scale is 1cm =300m

now so 3cm= 900m

so map distance between ravi's house and temple is 3cm

Answer 2

(a) 1cm=300m

distance between Ravi's home and his school is 1,500m.

Represented on the map 5cm

So ,

1,500/5=300

(b) Distance between Ravi's home and temple =900m.

Representation on the map =900/300= 3cm
