Question

What is the scale of a map if 1 cm on a map represents 20 km in real life.

Answer 1

Scale of map = 1 : 2000000

Explanation:

`\texttt{Scale of map = }\frac{\texttt{Length in map}}{\texttt{Original length}}\\\\\texttt{Scale of map = }(1cm)/(20km)\\\\\texttt{Scale of map = }(0.01m)/(20* 1000m)\\\\\texttt{Scale of map = }(1)/(2000000)`

Scale of map = 1 : 2000000
