Answer 1

Answer:

C - 130

Step-by-step explanation:

We have two towns that have a distance of 2.6cm, at the same time we know the scale of the map is 1cm : 50km and the question being asked is the actual distance between the two towns.

What we have to do to find the answer is multiply 2.6 by 50, since we know that one centimeter is equal to 50 kilometers on the scale, this is what we must do.

50 * 2.6

Therefore, the distance between the two towns is 130 kilometers.

Answer 2

Answer:

C-130km

Step-by-step explanation:

50 km = 5 000 000 cm

=> Actual distance between 2 towns = 2.6 x 5 000 000 = 13 000 000 cm = 130 km

=> C-130 km will be the correct ans.
