Question

Julie wants to check out a book from her local library, but it is not available. Julie decides to visit the library in Lanberry, 15 kilometers away, to see if that location has a copy of the book. On a map, the two libraries are 25 centimeters apart. What is the scale of the map?

Answer 1

The easiest way to find this is to use the library's catalog. Depending on the integrated library system (or ILS) the library subscribes to, the process might be slightly different. Generally, you can use a catalog system on a computer to search by title, author, subject, and more.
