The scale of a map is given as 1 : 50000. Two villages are 5 cm apart on the map. Find the actual distance between them.

​

Answer 1

Answer:

Actual distance is 2500m or 2.5 km.

Step-by-step explanation:

The scale is 1:50000. It means that the real distance is 50000 times larger

so, 5 cm * 50000 = 250000cm

or, 250000 : 100 = 2500m

or, 2500 : 1000 = 2.5 km
