Question

On a public transportation map, two stations are 6 centimeters apart. What is the actual

distance between the two stations if the scale of the map is 3 centimeters: 1 kilometer?

Answer 1

• The actual distance between the two stations is 2 km

The scale of the map is 3 cm : 1 km.

The distance of 6 cm is twice the 3 cm, so the actual distance is:

• 1 km*2 = 2 km
