Answer 2

Answers: The statement that express the same scale are Options B and C.

Solution:

A. 5 cm on the map represents 50 m in Chicago?

Rule of three:

1 cm represents 100 m

5 cm represents x

x=(5 cm).(100 m) / (1 cm)

x=500 m

5 cm on the map represents 500 m in Chicago.

The statement A doesn't express the same scale.

B. 1 mm on the map represents 10 m in Chicago?

1 mm = 0.1 cm

Rule of three:

1 cm represents 100 m

0.1 cm represents x

x=(0.1 cm).(100 m) / (1 cm)

x=10 m

1 mm = 0.1 cm on the map represents 10 m in Chicago.

The statement B expresses the same scale.

C. 1 km in Chicago is represented by 10 cm on the map?

1 km = 1,000 m

Rule of three:

1 cm represents 100 m

x represents 1,000 m

x=(1 cm).(1,000 m) / (100 m)

x=10 cm

1 km = 1,000 m in Chicago is represented by 10 cm on the map.

The statement C expresses the same scale.

D. 100 cm in Chicago is represented by 1 m on the map?

100 cm = 1 m

Rule of three:

1 cm represents 100 m

x represents 1 m

x=(1 cm).(1 m) / (100 m)

x=0.01 cm

100 cm = 1 m in Chicago is represented by 0.01 cm on the map.

The statement D doesn't express the same scale.
