Question

A map has a scale of 4 cm : 4 km. If

Union and Clayton are 8 km apart, then
they are how far apart on the map?

Answer 1

If Union and Clayton are 8 km apart, it means they are 8 cm far apart on the map.

Explanation:

Map scale = 4 cm : 4 km

Hence,

• 1 cm : 1 km

Given that Union and Clayton are 8 km apart.

• Since 1 km is scaled as 1 cm on the map.

Therefore, if Union and Clayton are 8 km apart, it means they are 8 cm far apart on the map.
