Question 1022682: ) A map is drawn to a scale of 1 : 50 000.
An airport runway is represented on the map by a line.
The actual length of the runway is 3 km.
What is the length, in cm, of the runway on the map?
Answer by Theo(13342) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
1 kilometer is equal to 1000 meters.
therefore, 3 kilometers is equal to 3000 meters.
1 meter is equal to 100 centimeters.
therefore, 3000 meters is equal to 300,000 centimeters.
300,000 centimeters divided by 50,000 centimeters is equal to 6 centimeters.
the length of the runway on the map is therefore equal to 6 centimeters if the length of the runway on the ground is equal to 3 kilometers.
