A map of Singapore has a scale of 4cm to 5km. The distance between Paragon shopping centre and plaza singapura on the map is 1.12cm. Find
i) actual distance between the two shopping centres,
---------------------------------------------------------

mapCM%2FrealKM=4%2F5=1.12%2Fx

4x=5%2A1.12

x=5%2A1.12%2F4

x=1.4kilometers

ii) distance between the two shopping centres on another map of Singapore that is drawn to a scale of 1:175000

This is still another simple proportion. You already found the distance between the cities to be 1.4 km. What should the question really be?
