Question

The scale of map is given ad1:80000000.Two places AandB?if cand d are at distance of 3200 km from each other then find the distance between them on map

Answer 1

The scale of map is given as 1cm = 80000000 km.
The distance between two places C and D = 3200km
Let the distance between C and D on map = x cm
⇒1:80000000 = x:3200
⇒3200 = 80000000x
⇒3200/80000000 = x
⇒x = 0.00004 cm
∴Distance between C and D on map = 0.00004 cm
