Question

A map has a scale of 2 cm: 11 m. The actual distance x from point A to point B, if these two points are 12

centimeters apart on the map, is

A. 4 m
B. 66 m
C. 12 m
D. 33 m

Answer 1

9514 1404 393

Answer:

B. 66 m

Explanation:

Map and ground distances are proportional:

ground/map = ground/(12 cm) = (11 m)/(2 cm)

ground = (12 cm)(11 m/(2 cm)) = 66 m

The distance from A to B is 66 m.
