Answer 2

The actual distance between two towns is 200km when a map has a scale of 1: 5000000. If two towns appear to be 4 cm away on a map.

Given that,

A map has a scale of 1: 5000000. If two towns appear to be 4 cm away on a map.

We have to find what is the actual distance between them.

We know that,

1 centimeter on a map represents 5000000

5cm on a map represents =4×5000000=20,000,000‬cm

1km=1000 meter

1m=100cm

1km=1000×100=100000cm

100000cm=1km

20,000,000‬cm= $\frac{20,000,000}{100000}$=200km

Therefore, the actual distance between two towns is 200km when a map has a scale of 1: 5000000. If two towns appear to be 4 cm away on a map.
