Question

If the scale of a map is 1 cm : 2500m . The distance between two places in real field is 15 km . What is the distance between the places in map?

Answer 1

Answer:

To find out actual distance on earth, we need to measure scale. The scale is 1cm to 15 km. Thus, 10 cm on map is equal to ( 10*15) = 150 km on earth. Thus, actual distance on earth is 150 km.
