Answer 1

Answer: Distance from Cleveland to Cincinnati on the second map is 8 km.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

The scale on the first map is

$1\ cm:10\ km$

That means

$1\ cm=10\ km$

Distance from Cleveland to Clncinnati = 40 cm

So,

$1\ cm=10\ km\\\\40\ cm=10\times 40\ km\\\\40\ cm=400\ km$

Similarly, Scale on the second map is given by

$1\ cm:50\ km\\\\i.e.\\\\1\ cm=50\ km$

So, our 400 km in second map will be

$\frac{400}{50}\ km=8\ km$

Hence, Distance from Cleveland to Cincinnati on the second map is 8 km.
