Question

A bakery needs to supply bread to every store within a six-kilometer radius.

Answer 1

The distance of the 6 km radius that will be drawn on the map is: 24 centimeters.

• Actual distance can be represented on a map using a map scale.

In this case, from the hint given, the map scale = 1/25,000.

Actual distance of the radius to be represented on the map = 6 km

• Convert 6 km to cm:

$1 km = 100,000 cm$

Therefore,

$6 km = 6 \times 100,000\\\\6 km = 600,000 cm$

• Next, Find the length of 6 km radius that will be drawn on the map in centimeters:

$600,000 \times \frac{1}{25,000} \\\\= \frac{600,000}{25,000}\\\\= 24$

• Therefore, the length of the radius that will be drawn on the map to represent 6 km radius is 24 centimeters.
