Question

The scale on a map is 2cm =25 miles Dave measured the distance to the next town 5cm How many miles away is the next town

Answer 1

First we need to find the measurement for 1 centimetre. To do this, we need to divide the given amount of miles (25) by the given number of centimetres (2).

25 / 2 = 12.5

1 cm = 12.5 miles

Now we need to find the distance of the next town.

If the next town is 5 cm, and 1 cm is 12.5 miles, we need to multiply 12.5 by 5.

12.5 * 5 = 62.5

So the next town is 62.5 miles away!

If you are asked to round this to the nearest whole number, it would be 63 miles.

Hope this helped! Brainliest? :)
