Question

The scale of a map is 1 cm​ : 76 km. What is the actual distance between two towns that are 5 cm apart on the​ map?

Answer 1

Actual distance = 380 km

Explanation:

5 x 76 = 380 km

If 1 cm = 76 km then you just have to do 5 cm x 76.

Answer 2

The towns would be 380 km apart. You find this by multiplying the scale accordingly (in this case 5*76)
