Answer 2

Given:

Two towns A and B are 2.5cm apart on a map. The scale used on the map is 1 Cm:5 Km.

To Find:

The real distance between towns A and B is?

Solution:

1. The distance between A and B on the map is 2.5cm.

2. The scale used on the map is 1cm:5km.

=> The scale here implies 1cm distance between the two cities on the map is equal to 5 km real distance between the cities.

=> 1cm distance between the two cities on the map = 5km real distance between the two cities,

=> 2.5cm distance between the two cities on the map = 5 x 2.5km real distance between the two cities,

=> The distance between town A and town B = 5 x 2.5km,

=> The distance between town A and town B = 12.5km.

3. Hence, the distance between the two towns is 12.5 Kilometers.

Therefore, the distance between town A and town B is 12.5 Km.
