Question

two countries a and b are 6000 km apart . a map is created such as scale of the mapis 1:300000000. find the distance between 2 countries on a map paper

Answer 1

Answer:

the. answer is 20cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Given, that the scale of the map is 1:300000000

this means that 1 cm on the map is equal to 3,00,00,000cm

converting them into km (1km=100000)

30000000/100000=300km

SO, 1cm is equal to 300km

let the distance on the paper be x

So, one cm is equal to 300km

Then, what is distance on the map if the actual distance is 6,000 km

by the cross multiplication

1/300=x/6,000

which is equal to 20cm
