Question

The scale of a map is 1:1,000,000. What are the real distances between two points if the distance between them on this map is 35mm.

Answer 1

35km; Since the points on the map are one millionth of their actual size, simply multiply by one million and convert from there.

35*1,000,000 = 35,000,000mm

35,000,000/1000 = 35,000m

35,000/1000 = 35km

Answer 2

Answer:

35km

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The scale of a map is 1:1,000,000

To Find: the real distances between two points if the distance between them on this map is 35mm

Solution:

Distance between two points on map$=35\text{mm}$

                                                              $=3.5\text{cm}$

Scale of map$=1:1,000,000$

Therefore,

If distance between two points on map is $1\text{unit}$ real distance is$=1,000,000$ $\text{unit}$

Distance between two points on map $=3.5\text{cm}$

Real Distance                           $=3.5\text{cm}\times1,000,000$

                                                 $35,00,000$ $\text{cm}$

Converting into kilometers,

Real Distance $35\text{km}$

if the distance between two points on this map is $35\text{mm}$, real distance between them is $35\text{km}$
