Question

The scale of a park map says that 2 cm represents 6 km. What is:

A. the distance ( cm ) on the map that represents an actual distance of 9 km?

B. the actual number of km that is represented by 5 cm on the map?

Answer 1

The scale can translate just by division if we get it down to what 1 cm equals. 1 cm=3 km, so with this given information you can find:

A)
3 Cm=9 Km

B)
1=3, times both sides by 5 that is 5 Cm= 15 Km
