Question

A map has a scale of 1cm:4km the actual distance between the two cities is 52km. What is the distance between the two cities on the map

Answer 1

13cm

Explanation:

Given the map scale:

1cm on the map : 4km actual distance

4km actual distance : 1cm on the map

1km actual distance :
`(1)/(4) =0.25cm` on the map

Therefore,

52km actual distance = 0.25 * 52 = 13cm
