the map. Find the actual distance between them.
​

Answer 1

Answer:

1,200 kilometers (km)

Step-by-step explanation:

The scale of a map = 1:30000000

There are two cities that are 4 cm apart on the map

First: Find the distance between them

Distance between them = 4 cm × 30,000,000 = 120,000,000 cm

Second: Convert

120,000,000 cm = 1,200 km

So distance between the cities is 1,200 km

Answer 2

Answer:

Two cities are 1200km away.

Step-by-step explanation:

4:x=1:30000000

4*30000000=x*1

120000000=x

x=120000000cm

x=1200km
