Question

The scale of a map says that 4 çm represents 5 km.

What distance on the map (in centimeters) represents an actual distance of 4

kilometers?

Answer 1

Distance on the map (in centimeters) represents an actual distance of 4 kilometers is 3,2 cm.

Explanation:

The scale of a map = 4 cm : 5 km

The scale of a map = 4 : 500.000

So, 0,000008 times the actual distance is the distance on the map.

0,000008 × 400.000 = 3,2 cm
