Hii so I gave problem with this:((

the distance between the two points is 2 km. What would be the distance between them on a 1:100,000 scale map?

Answer:

A scale of 1:1,000,000 means that anything on the map that is 1 ‘unit’ in length represents something that is one million ‘units’ in length.

Step-by-step explanation

So two points 1 cm apart on the map will be one million centimetres apart in real life. Divide a million by 100 if you prefer the distance in metres. And divide that figure by 1,000 if you want it in kilometres.
