Question

WHAT AM I DOING?! HELP

find the distance between Union and Santa Cruz if they are 3cm apart on a map this a scale of 1cm: 13km.

Answer 1

The answer to your problem is, 39 kilometers

Explanation:

We know that 1 centimeters on a map is 13 kilometers based on what the question is saying.

So we need to multiply 13 x 3 since in the question it quotes " 3 cm apart on a map . . . "

So lets do some multiplying:

13 x 3 =

3 x 10 = 30.

3 x 3 = 9.

30 + 9 = 39.

Thus the answer to your problem is, 39 kilometers

Answer 2

With the scale being 1cm: 13km your answer will be 39. This scale means that every cm equals 13km. Since they are 3 cm apart on the map, you do 3•13 to find how far they are truly. (3•13=39)
