Question

Two fields at a state park are 1,000 maters from each other. On a map, the two fields are 8 centimeters apart. what scale is the map using?

Answer 1

`(1cm)/(125 meters)`

Explanation:

To find the scale, we write a ratio of
`(map)/(real world)` and simplify.

We know
`(map)/(real world)=(8cm)/(1000 meters)`.

We simplify to
`(1cm)/(125 meters)`
