Question

A map has a scale of 4 cm : 4 km. If
Union and Clayton are 8 km apart, then
they are how far apart on the map?

Answer 1

Answer:

8cm

Step-by-step explanation:

So since we know the scale of the map (4cm : 4km or we can also write it down as 1cm : 1km) we will just have to find out how much 4km fits into 8km and then multiply the result by 4cm. So we do the following steps.......

$(\frac{8}{4})4 = (2)(4) = 8$
