Responses
a map with a scale of 100 km : 1 cm
a map with a scale of 500 km : 1 cm
a map with a scale of 150 km : 1 cm
a map with a scale of 1000 km : 1 cm
The correct answer is a map with a scale of 100 km : 1 cm. With a smaller ratio of kilometers to centimeters, the state of Florida will appear larger on the map.
To identify on which map the state of Florida will appear the largest, we need to compare the scales given for each map. The larger the scale, the smaller the map size, and vice versa.
Given the scales for each map:
1. A map with a scale of 100 km : 1 cm
2. A map with a scale of 500 km : 1 cm
3. A map with a scale of 150 km : 1 cm
4. A map with a scale of 1000 km : 1 cm
Comparing the scales, we find that the map with the largest scale is the one where Florida will appear largest. So, the map with a scale of 100 km : 1 cm will make the state of Florida appear the largest.
