Question

The scale of a map is 1 : 3x⁷

. Two cities are shown 5 cm apart on the

map. Find the actual distance between the cities in kilometers.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Given scale of map = 1 : 3 * 10^7.

Given that the distance between two cities is 5cm.

= > Therefore Actual distance = 5 : 3 * 10^7cm

                                                 = 15 * 10^7 cm

                                                 = (15 * 10^7)/1000 * 100

                                                 = (15 * 10^7)/10^5

                                                 = 15 * 10^2

                                                 = 1500km.
