The length of Mississippi River is 3,730 km. What is the scale of the map if the length of Mississippi River on the map is 37.3 cm. (1 km=1000m, 1m=100 cm)

Answer 1

Answer:

100 kilometers per centimeter.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that,

Length of Mississippi River = 3,730 km.

The scale is required to find if the length of the river is given 37.3 cm.

Thus, the scale of the map is given by,

$\frac{3730}{37.3}$ = 100

Hence, the scale of the map is 100 kilometers per centimeter.
