Question

Find the scale of each map

3.2 cm on the map corresponds to an actual distance of 4 km

Answer 1

1:125,000

Explanation:

1 km = 100,000 cm

4 km = 400,000 cm

Now we can calculate the scale:

Scale = Distance on the map / Actual distance

We take

3.2 cm / 400,000 cm

Simplifying the scale gives us:

Scale = 1 / 125,000

So, the scale of the map is 1:125,000
