Question

Jake’s map shows the distance from the Bake Stars Cafe to the restaurant supply store as 3 centimeters. If the scale of the map is 1 centimeter to 8 kilometers, what is the real distance from the shop to the store?

Answer 1

The real distance from shop to store is 24 kilometers.

Explanation:

Given:

Distance from the Bake Stars Cafe to the restaurant supply store on map = 3 cm

Also Given:

Scale of the map 1 cm = 8 km

We need to find the real distance from the shop to the store.

Solution:

Now we know that;

Distance from shop to store on map =3 cm

1 cm = 8 km

3 cm = Real distance from shop to store

By using Unitary method we get;

Real distance from shop to store =
`8*3 =24 \ km`

Hence The real distance from shop to store is 24 kilometers.
