Answer 1

Answer: Distance from Cleveland to Cincinnati on the second map is 8 km.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

The scale on the first map is

`1\ cm:10\ km`

That means

`1\ cm=10\ km`

Distance from Cleveland to Clncinnati = 40 cm

So,

`1\ cm=10\ km\\\\40\ cm=10* 40\ km\\\\40\ cm=400\ km`

Similarly, Scale on the second map is given by

`1\ cm:50\ km\\\\i.e.\\\\1\ cm=50\ km`

So, our 400 km in second map will be

`(400)/(50)\ km=8\ km`

Hence, Distance from Cleveland to Cincinnati on the second map is 8 km.
