Question

A map is drawn using a scale of 1 centimeter to 25 kilometers.

What actual distance is represented by a map length of 3.2 centimeters?

Enter the correct answer in the box.

Answer 1

Answer:

3.2 cm on map represents 80 kilometers of actual distance.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that the scale is:

1 cm = 25 km

And we have to find the distance that will be represented by 3.2 centimeters of length on the map.

Let x be the number of kilometers represented by 3.2 cm

$\frac{1}{25} = \frac{3.2}{x}\\x = 3.2 * 25\\x = 80$

Hence,

3.2 cm on map represents 80 kilometers of actual distance.
