Question

A map was drawn to a scale of 2 cm = 35 km how many centimeters long would an actual distance if 245 km be?

Answer 1

This distance would be 14 cm long.

Explanation:

2 cm = 35 km

1 cm = 35/2 = 17.5 km

Let's assume: x -> the distance on a map (in cm)

so:

x * 17.5 = 245

x = 245/17.5 = 14 (cm)
