means that distances in the park are 500 times as far as they are on the map.
1. First, Khianna must walk from the front gate to the Ferris wheel. This distance is 2.5 cm on Khianna’s map. How far is the actual distance in the park? (Give your answer in meters) Show your calculations below. ____________
To find the actual distance in the park, we need to multiply the distance on the map by the scale.
Actual distance = Distance on map * Map scale
Actual distance = 2.5 cm * 500
Actual distance = 1250 cm
To convert the actual distance from centimeters to meters, we divide by 100.
Actual distance in meters = Actual distance in centimeters / 100
Actual distance in meters = 1250 cm / 100
Actual distance in meters = 12.5 m
Therefore, the actual distance from the front gate to the Ferris wheel is 12.5 meters.
2. Then, she must walk from the Ferris wheel to the fountain. This distance is 5 cm on Khianna’s map. How far is the actual distance in the park? (Give your answer in meters) Show your calculations below. ____________
3. Next, she must walk from the fountain to the refreshment stand. This distance is 2 cm on Khianna’s map. How far is the actual distance in the park? (Give your answer in meters) Show your calculations below. ____________
4. Then, she must walk from the refreshment stand to the go-cart track. This distance is 1.5 cm on Khianna’s map. How far is the actual distance in the park? (Give your answer in meters) Show your calculations below. ____________
To find the actual distance in the park, we need to multiply the distance on the map by the scale.
Actual distance = Distance on map * Map scale
2. Actual distance = 5 cm * 500
Actual distance = 2500 cm
Actual distance in meters = 2500 cm / 100
Actual distance in meters = 25 m
Therefore, the actual distance from the Ferris wheel to the fountain is 25 meters.
3. Actual distance = 2 cm * 500
Actual distance = 1000 cm
Actual distance in meters = 1000 cm / 100
Actual distance in meters = 10 m
Therefore, the actual distance from the fountain to the refreshment stand is 10 meters.
4. Actual distance = 1.5 cm * 500
Actual distance = 750 cm
Actual distance in meters = 750 cm / 100
Actual distance in meters = 7.5 m
Therefore, the actual distance from the refreshment stand to the go-cart track is 7.5 meters.
