Question

The scale on a map is

1:250000
Two villages are 9cm apart on the map
How far from each other are the two villages in kilometres?

Answer 1

22.5km

Explanation:

Do cross multiplication

250,000 × 9 over 1 = 2,250,000

and then divide 2,250,000 by 100,000 to convert it to km it'll be 22.5km.
