Question

Problema:1,745 kilómetros de distancia entre Mérida, Yucatán y Ciudad Victoria, Tamaulipas.1: 100 000 Escala en el mapa.¿Cuántos centímetros representan estos kilómetros en el mapa?

Answer 1

1745 centimeters.

Explanation:

The first thing is to pass the kilometers to centimeters, we know 1 km equals 100000 cm, therefore:

1745 km * 100000 cm / 1 = 174500000 cm

Now, when applying the scale, we have that it is 1: 100000, so we apply the scale:

174500000 * 1/100000 = 1745

That is to say that on the map those 1745 kilometers represent 1745 centimeters.
