Question

12.

The distance between two cities on a map is 3.5 centimeters. The map uses a scale in which 1 centimeter represents 20 kilometers. What is the actual distance between these two cities in kilometers?

Answer 1

70kilometers

Explanation:

first we must find how much one half of a centimeter is

well, its easy, theres already a half for the distance, and the representation is an even number, so cut it in half.

20-10 is 10

and now the multiplication

20x3=60

60+10=70

70 kilometers
