Question

The distance between two places is 15km. If the map scale is 1:500000, find the distance between the places in centimeters drawn in the map.​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The scale on a map is the ratio between real life sizes and how many times it has been shrunk to fit it on the map. On a 1:50,000 scale map, 1 cm on the map represents 50,000 cm on the ground (= 500 m or 0.5 km).
