Question

The scale of a map says that 6 cm represents 15 km.

What distance on the map represents an actual distance of 6 kilometers?

a) 0 3.6
b) 2.5
c) 0 2.4
d) 0.42

Answer 1

Scale distance on map representation = 2.4 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Scale factor [6 cm - 15 Km]

Actual distance = 6 km

Find:

Scale distance on map representation

Computation:

Scale distance on map representation = Actual distance[6cm / 15km]

Scale distance on map representation = 6km [6cm / 15km]

Scale distance on map representation = 36 / 15

Scale distance on map representation = 2.4 cm
