Question

(a) The scale of a map is 1:75 000. The length of the road on the map is 18 cm. Calculate the actual distance of the road in km.​

Answer 1

Answer:

13.5 km

Step-by-step explanation:

75000*18 = 1350000

If the scale on the map is 1:75000 and the length of the road on the map is 18, we have to mulitply by 18. 18: 75000(18) = 18: 1350000

1350000/100000 = 13.5 <-- (to get from cm to km, you have to divide by 100000)
