Question

The scale on a map stated that 1 cm corresponds to 30 kilometers. On the map, two cities are 1.6cm apart.

Answer 1

48 kilometers.

Explanation:

We have been given that the scale on a map stated that 1 cm corresponds to 30 kilometers.

Let us find the actual distance between two points, which are 1.6 cm apart on the map by multiplying 1.6 by 30.

`\text{Distance between two cities}=30* 1.6`

`\text{Distance between two cities}=48`

Therefore, the two cities are 48 kilometers apart.
