Answer 2

Answer:

The distance between the two towns is 225 km.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

The scale of map is:

$1\text{ cm}:75\text{ km}$

This means that a distance of 1 cm on map marks a distance of 75 km in reality,

We have to find the distance between two towns.

Distance between two towns on the map = 3 cm

Distance between towns =

We could use the concept of ratio to solve this problem:

$\displaystyle\frac{1}{75} = \frac{3}{d}\\\\\text{whered is the distance between the two towns}\\\Rightarrow d = 3\times 75 = 225$

Hence, the distance between the two towns is 225 km.
