Question

125m on the ground corresponds to 2.5 cm on a map. What is the actual distance between two objects if they are 4.2 cm apart on the map?

Answer 1

2.5cm = 125m
.5cm = 25m
.1cm = 5m
4.2cm = 21m
The distance is 21m

Answer 2

it would be 210 m

You have 125 m with 2.5 cm so we divide 125 by 2.5 to find out how many m are represented by each meter in the graph. We get 50, then multiply 50 by 4.2 to get the answer.
