Are you an expert? then answer this.

Answer 1

a) 3

b) 2.25 km

Explanation:

a) 20 min : 1 hour = 1 : n

20 min : 60 min= 1 :3

n=3

b) 1: 25000 scale

1 mm : 25000 mm

9 cm = 90 mm

90 mm : 90*25000 mm

9 cm : 2250000 mm

9 cm : 2.25 km

Answer 2

a) n = 3

b) every 9 cm represents 175,000 km

Explanation:

a) 20 min : 1 hour

Let's convert it into same units

⇒20 min : 60 min

÷ 20 ÷ 20

⇒ 1 : 3

So n = 3

b) 1 : 25,000

Which means every 1 cm on the map represents 25,000 km

And,

1 cm = 25,000 km

So,

9 cm = 25,000 × 9

9 cm = 175,000 km

So every 9 cm represents 175,000 km
