Question

A cartographer wants to create a map of Seattle. He has designed key/legend for the map indicating that 1 cm equals 2 miles. If the distance between Woodland Park Zoo and the Seattle Aquarium is 5.2 miles, how long is the distance going to be on the map?

A.) 8.2 cm
B.) 10.4 cm
C.) 6 cm
D.) 2.6 cm

Answer 1

2.6 cm

Explanation:

Let d be the distance in centimeters on the map.

`(1)/(2)=(d)/(5.2)`

2d = 5.2

d = 2.6
