Question

Here is a map of a town.
The map shows a centimetre ruler.
1 cm represents 3 km.
What is the real-life distance between the park and the museum?

Answer 1

Answer:

The distance between park and museum is 12km.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the map shows 1cm represents 3km. In this question, the distance between park and museum is 4cm so in order to find the real-life distance, you have to multiply by 4 :

$1cm = 3km$

$4cm = 3km \times 4$

$4cm = 12km$
