Answer:

The scale used is 1:2,400.

Explanation:

The maps come in numerous different shapes/projections, and they can have numerous different purposes. Every map has its own elements, and one of the most important is the scale. The scale depends on how much should something be shown on the map, or rather depending on how detailed it should be.

In this case, we have 5 cm on the map representing 120 m in reality. In order to get to the scale of the map we have two steps:

  • convert the meters to cm
  • divide the distance in reality with the distance on the map

1 m = 100 cm

120 x 100 = 12,000 cm

12,000 / 5 = 2,400 cm

The result we get is 2,400, meaning that the scale of the map is 1:2,400, or 1 cm on the map represents 2,400 cm in reality.
