Question

A map has a scale of 5 cm : 18 km. If Newton RSM is 12 km away from the Riverside train station, how far apart are they on the map?

Answer 1

You're going to have to set up a proportion. So it'd be 5:18=x:12 or if in fraction form, 5/18=x/12. Then you cross multiply. Where you get 5*12=18x. Then isolate the variable, (60/18) and you get 3.33 cm. 

Answer 2

the answer is 3.33 cm
