Question

The actual distance between two cities is 135 km. The map scale is 1cm: 100 km. Find the map distance.

Answer 1

Answer:

1.35cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the scale of the map

1cm = 100km

For 135km;

x cm  = 135 km

Divide both equations

1/x = 100/135

100x = 135

x = 135/100

x = 1.35cm

Hence the map distance will be 1.35cm
