Question

The scale of a map as 1 :30000000 two cities are 4 cm apart on the map . Find the actual distance between them .

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

let the map distance be x cm and actual distance be y cm, then

1:30000000= x: y

1/3*10*10*10*10*10*10*10=x/y

x =4 so, y =4*3*10*10*10*10*10*10*10

=12*10*10*10*10*10*10*10 cm = 1200 km

thus, two cities, which are 4 cm apart on the map , accurately 1200 km away from each other

Answer 2

1:30000000=4:_____^_
