Question

2 fields are 1,200 meters from each other. On a map the 2 fields are 8 centimeters apart. What scale is the map using.

Answer 1

Answer:

The scale 150 metres : 1 centimeters is the map using.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

2 fields are 1,200 meters from each other.

On a map the 2 fields are 8 centimeters apart.

Now, to find the scale map is using.

Actual distance between the 2 fields = 1200 meters.

Distance in the map between the 2 fields = 8 centimeters.

So, to get the scale map is using we find the ratio:

$Actual\ distance\ between\ the\ 2 fields/ Distance\ in\ the\ map\ between\ the\ 2 fields$.

$=\frac{1200}{8}$

$=\frac{150}{1}$

$=150\ meters:1\ centimeters$

Therefore, the scale 150 metres : 1 centimeters is the map using.
