Question

The distance between two points on a map is 6.5 cm. The scale of the map is 1:1000.
Find the actual distance between the two points in km.

Answer 1

Answer:

Distance between the points= 6.5cm

Scale of the map= 1:1000

Actual Distance between the two points :

Multiply by scale= 6.5×1000= 6500cm

Convert to metres= 6500/100= 65m

Convert to Km= 65/1000= 0.065km

So, the actual distance between the two points on the map is 0.065km.
