Question

The legend on a map states that
1 cm is 50 km. If you measure 9 cm
on the map, how many kilometers
would the actual distance be?
Actual distance = [? ] km​

Answer 1

Answer:

450 km

Step-by-step explanation:

You simply multiply 9 by 50 to get 450

Answer 2

Answer: 450 km.

Step-by-step explanation: To find the answer to this question, you have to use unit multipliers. We know that 1 cm on the map is 50 km in real life so we multiply 50 km / 1 cm by 9 cm. This cancels out the cm, making km the units. 50*9 = 450, so the answer is 450 km.
