Question

The scale of a map is 1 inch = 50 km. If two cities are drawn 4 inches apart on the map, how far are they actually apart?​

Answer 1

200 km

===============

According to the scale of the map, 1 inch = 50 km. This signifies that for every 1 inch on the map, it represents an actual distance of 50 km.

The distance between the two cities on the map measures 4 inches. In order to find our answer, we need to multiply 4 inches by the scale conversion factor of 50 km per inch:

• 4 * 50 km = 200 km

Hence, the actual distance between the two cities is 200 km.
