1 5/8 inches represents about how many miles on the scale bar on the political map legend?
3.8 centimeters represents about how many kilometers?
Since we don't know what maps you're referring to nor can we see them, there's no way for anyone here to tell.
To find out how many miles 1 5/8 inches represents on the scale bar of a political map legend, you need to know the map's scale. The scale is usually indicated in the form of a ratio or fraction and provides a relationship between the measurements on the map and the actual distances on the ground.
For example, let's assume the scale bar of the political map has a scale of 1 inch = 100 miles. With this information, you can calculate:
1. Determine the number of miles represented by 1 inch: Since the scale is 1 inch = 100 miles, 1 inch represents 100 miles.
2. Calculate the number of miles represented by 1 5/8 inches: Multiply the number of miles represented by 1 inch by 1 5/8:
100 miles * 1 5/8 inches = 100 miles * (16/8 + 5/8) inches
= 100 miles * (21/8) inches.
Simplifying the fraction (21/8), we get:
100 miles * 2.625 inches = 262.5 miles.
Therefore, on the assumed scale, 1 5/8 inches represents approximately 262.5 miles on the political map legend.
Now, let's proceed to the second part of the question about the conversion of 3.8 centimeters on a map to kilometers.
To find out how many kilometers 3.8 centimeters represent on a map, you need to know the map's scale in centimeters per kilometer or the equivalent ratio.
Assuming the scale of the map is 1 centimeter = 1 kilometer, which means each centimeter on the map represents a kilometer on the ground, you can calculate:
1. Determine the number of kilometers represented by 1 centimeter: Since the scale is 1 centimeter = 1 kilometer, 1 centimeter represents 1 kilometer.
2. Calculate the number of kilometers represented by 3.8 centimeters: Multiply the number of kilometers represented by 1 centimeter by 3.8:
1 kilometer * 3.8 centimeters = 3.8 kilometers.
Thus, on the assumed scale, 3.8 centimeters represent approximately 3.8 kilometers on the political map legend.
