Question

A scale on a map shows that 3 centimeters represents 10 kilometers. what nuber of centimeters on the map represents an actual distance of 25 kilometers

Answer 1

10 is half of 20. 3 kilometers represents 10 kilometers, so if you double 3, you get 6. This is because 10 is half of 20, so 3 is half of 6. You still need to find out how much 5 kilometers is represented by, so I would do this -

10 divided by 2, is 5. What’s the number we need now? 5! Since 5 is half of 10, then we can also cut 3 in half. 3 divided by 2 is 1.5.

Equation = 6kilo + 1.5 kilo = 7.5 kilograms.


THE ANSWER IS 1.5 KILOGRAMS!!!
