a map has a scale of 1cmm to 25km
the distance between the cities of Edinburgh and Bristol is 500km
what is the distance on the map between these two cities?
20CM
To find the distance on the map between Edinburgh and Bristol, we will use the scale provided on the map. The scale given is 1cm to 25km.
First, we need to calculate the distance on the map. We know the actual distance between the cities is 500km.
To convert 500km to cm, we need to divide it by the scaling factor of 25km/cm:
500 km ÷ 25 km/cm = 20 cm
So, the distance on the map between Edinburgh and Bristol is 20cm.
(1 cmm /25 km) * 500 km = 20 cmm
whatever a cmm is
