Question

There are two different maps of California. The scale on the first map is 1 cm to km. The distance from Fresno to San Francisco is 15 cm

Answer 1

Answer: The distance from Fresno to San Francisco would be 15km

Explanation:

If the scale on the first map is 1 cm to 1 km, and the distance from Fresno to San Francisco on the map is measured as 15 cm, then you can use the scale to find the real-world distance between the two cities.

Multiply the measured distance on the map (15 cm) by the scale (1 km per 1 cm):

15cm×1km/cm=15km

So, according to the map's scale, the distance from Fresno to San Francisco is 15 kilometers.
