Question

what is the actual distance between two places which is represented by 2.3 CM on the map if the map is drawn to the scale of 1: 5000​

Answer 1

11500cm = 115m

Step-by-step explanation:

Proportions:

1 ⇒ 5000

2.3 ⇒ D

D = 2.3*5000/1

D = 11500cm

1m = 100cm

11500cm = 11500/100 = 115m

Answer 2

This means that 1 cm on the map represents an actual distance of 50 000 cm if a map has a scale of 1 : 50000, then 1 cm on the map is 50000 cm in real life. (a) The distance between two points in real life is 7 km.
