Question

The scale on the map is 1:25000

How many kilometres on the ground is represented by 6cm on the map?

Answer 1

1.5 km

Explanation:

1 kilometer = 1000 meters and 1 meter = 100 cm, so 1 km = 100,000cm

If the scale on the map is 1:25,000, 6cm on the map = 150,000 cm

Since 1 km = 100,000 cm, 1 km/100,000 cm = 1

150,000 cm x 1 km/100,000 cm = 1.5 x 1km = 1.5 km

Answer 2

Answer: 150,000 km

Step-by-step explanation: If every centimeter is equal to 25000 kilometers, than 6 x 25000 = 150,000.
