Question

The scale on a map says that 6 cm represents 15 km. What distance on the map in centimeters represents 20 kilometers?

Answer 1

Answer:

8 centimeters.

Step-by-step explanation:

$6cm\ on\ map\ -> 15km$

Divide 3 both sides:

$2cm\ on\ map\ -> 5km$

Multiply 4 on both sides:

$8cm\ on\ map\ -> 20km$

8cm on the map represents 20km.
