The distance between two towns on a map measures 4.8cm. If the scale of the map is 1:250000 what would the actual distance be?
Archy [21]

The actual distance will be 12 km.

<u>Explanation</u>:

The scale of the map is 1:250000

1 cm in the map represents 250000 cm.

250000cm=2500 m=2.5 km

the measurement in the map is 4.8 cm

since 1 cm represents 250000 cm or 2.5 km

The actual distance represented by 4.8 cm on the map = 4.8*250000 cm =1,200,000 cm=12000 m=12 km
