Question

Frank is drawing a treasure map using a scale of 1 cm to 10 m. He wants to show that the treasure is buried 40 meters from a tree. How many centimeters should he show for this distance on the map?

Answer 1

4 cm.

Explanation:

If 1cm = 10m, the increments of which you would draw the map would be directly proportional.

40m/10m = 4

4×1 = 4

Therefore, the answer is 4 cm.
