Question

The distance on a map between two cities is 6.5 cm if 1 cm = 8k on the map how many miles are the two cites apart from each other 1 km= 0.621 mi

Answer 1

So firstly, we have to convert 6.5 cm into km. Do this by multiplying 6.5 by 8:

$6.5\times 8=52\ \textsf{km}$

Next, we have to convert km to miles. Do this by multiplying 52 by 0.621:

$52\times 0.621=32.292\ \textsf{mi}\ \approx 32.3\ \textsf{mi}$

The cities are (rounded to the tenths) 32.3 miles from each other.
