Question

The distance between two places X and Y is 600Km.it is represented on a map by 40 cm, what is the scale of this map ​

Answer 1

Answer:

To find the scale of a map,

Divide given distance by the map length.

=> 600 km/ 40 cm = 15 km/cm

Answer 2

15 Km is equal to 1 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the distance between two points X and Y is 600 Km and on the map scale it is showing that it is 40 cm, so we have to calculate the value of 1 cm of the scale of map.

To find this we have to write,

40 cm is equal to= 600 km

so, 1 cm is equal to = $\frac{600}{40}$

1 cm is equal to=15 cm here

Hence we can say that it is  1 cm = 15 km on the map scale
