calculate the distance between two town of 20cm using a scale of 2cm
It would help if you would proofread your work before you post it.
2 cm to what?
"a scale of 2cm" means nothing
2 cm / alligator = 7 cows/ truck
To calculate the distance between two towns using a scale, you can follow these steps:
1. Determine the scale: In this case, the scale is 2cm.
2. Measure the distance on the scale: Since the distance between the two towns is 20cm, we need to find how many units on the scale represent this distance.
Divide the actual distance (20cm) by the scale (2cm):
20cm / 2cm = 10 units
Therefore, 10 units on the scale represent the distance between the two towns.
3. Calculate the actual distance: Multiply the number of units on the scale by the scale itself to find the actual distance.
10 units * 2cm per unit = 20cm
Therefore, the actual distance between the two towns is 20cm.
