Question

The scale on a map reads 1 cm = 250 km. How far is the actual distance if the map distance measures 3.8 cm?

Answer 1

950 km

Explanation:

`(1)/(250) = (3.8)/(x)`

(cross multiply)

250(3.8)= 950

(divide both sides by 1)

950/1=950

Answer 2

950 km

Explanation:

1 cm = 250 km

3.8 * 250 = 950
