Question

Fill in the blanks to make the statements true.

If actual distance between two places A and B is 110 km and it is represented on a map by 25 mm. Then the scale used is ______.

Answer 1

If actual distance between two places A and B is 110 km and it is represented on a map by 25 mm. Then the scale used is 1: 4400000

From the question it is given that,

Actual distance between two places A and B is = 110 km

Distance is represented on a map by = 25 mm

So, the scale used is = Size drawn on map/ actual distance

= 25 mm/110 km

We know that, 1 km = 1000 m

1m = 100cm

1cm = 10mm

1 km = 10,00,000

So, 110 km = 11,00,00,000 mm

Therefore = 25/11,00,00,000

= 1/4400000

= 1: 4400000
