Question

What is the scale of a map if 1cm=20km

Answer 1

50 km

Explanation:

So the map has a scale of 1 cm: 20 km. Next, you look at how far they are apart and see if the scale and the distance on the map are the same measurement. In this case, they are both centimeters so they stay the same. Then, all you do is multiple the real size, 20 km, by

2.5

1

. Then, 20 x 2.5=50. So the answer is 50 km
