Question

the scale on a map is stated as 1 : 250000 2 villages are 9 m apart on the map how far from each other are the two villages in kilomentres

Answer 1

2,250,000 km

Explanation:

From the above question our scale is given as:

1 m : 250000km

We are trying to find the distance between two villages which is 9m apart in kilometers

Hence

1 m : 250000km

= 1 m = 250000km

9m = x km

Cross Multiply

x km = 9 × 250,000km

x km = 2,250,000 km
