Question

The distance between Dallas and Houston on a map is 7.5 centimeters. The map uses a scale in which 1 centimeter represents 30 kilometers. What is the actual distance between these two cities in kilometers?

A
2,250 kilometers


G
225 kilometers


H
4 kilometers


J
70 kilometers

Answer 1

Answer: 225 kilometers

Explanation:

If 1 centimeter on the map represents 30 kilometers on the ground then to convert the distance on the map to distance on land, one should multiply the number of centimeters measured by 30 to find the actual distance on ground.

= 7.5 * 30

= 225 kilometers
