if a scale is 1:250,000 and the distance is 8.5cm on the map what's the actual distance

Respuesta :

8.5cm · 250,000 = 2,125,000cm

1m = 100cm therefore 1cm = 0.01m

2,125,000cm = 2,125,000 · 0.01 = 21,250m

1km = 1,000m therefore 1m = 0.001km

21,250m = 21,250 · 0.001km = 21.25km

Answer: 21,250m = 21,25km
