Question

5) The scale on a map is 1 cm = 60 km.a. The distance between two cities is 9.5 cm on a map. What is the actual distance between thetwo cities?b. If the actual distance between two other cities is 360 km, what is the distance on the map?

Answer 1

Given:

There are given that the 1 cm is equal to 60 km.

Step-by-step explanation:

(a):

If there are given 9.5 cm, then to find the actual distance, we need to multiply by 60.

So,

`9.5*60km=570km`

And,

(b):

To find the distance on the map, we need to divide by 60:

So,

`(360)/(60)=6cm`

Final answer:

Hence, the answer to (a) and (b) is shown below:

`\begin{gathered} (a):570km \\ (b):6cm \end{gathered}`
