1.	The scale of a map is given as 1 cm = 15 kmFind the actual distance between two placeswhich are 5 cm apart on the map.
Answer» 1cm on a map represents 4000000 5cm on a map represents =5×4000000=20,000,000‬cm 1km=1000m 1m=100cm ∴1km=1000×100=100000cm ∴100000cm=1km ∴20,000,000‬cm= 100000 20,000,000‬ km=200KM Thus, the actual DISTANCE between TWO TOWNS is 200km.

The scale of a map is given as 1 cm = 15 kmFind the actual distance between two placeswhich are 5 cm apart on the map.

Answer»

1cm on a map represents 4000000

5cm on a map represents =5×4000000=20,000,000‬cm

1km=1000m

1m=100cm

∴1km=1000×100=100000cm

∴100000cm=1km

∴20,000,000‬cm=

100000

20,000,000‬

Thus, the actual DISTANCE between TWO TOWNS is 200km.
