Question

Noella is checking your mouth for the distance to a beach the scale of the map is 4 cm represent 8 km if she finds the closest beach to be 12 from where she is how far away is the beach in kilometers

Answer 1

Answer:

32 km

Step-by-step explanation:

The scale for a map determines the ratio between the distance on the map and the distance in real like.

$\frac{On Map}{Real World} =\frac{4cm}{8kilometers}$

Because we know the closest beach is 12 cm away then we have

$\frac{4cm}{8 kilometers} =\frac{12cm}{?}$.

Notice that 4cm becomes 12 cm by multiplying by 3. Do the same for the denominator and we'll have the distance in kilometers.

$\frac{4 * 3cm}{8*4kilometers} =\frac{12 cm}{32 kilometers}$
