Question

on a public transportation map to stations are 15 cm apart where is a real life the distance between them is 18 km what is the map scale

Answer 1

there are 100 cm in 1 meter, and there are 1000 meters in 1 Kilometer.

so in 18 Kilometers there are 18*1000 meters, and there are 18*1000*100 centimeters.

$\bf \cfrac{map}{actual}~\hspace{7em}\stackrel{\textit{both sides in cm}}{\cfrac{15}{1800000}}\implies \stackrel{simplified}{\cfrac{1}{120000}}\qquad 1:120000$

Answer 2

Answer:
1:120000
