Question 1069157: The distance between two cities is 781 km, and they are 27.3 cm apart on a map. Find the distance between two points 15.8 cm apart on the same map.
Round your answer to the nearest integer. Answer by Boreal(15235) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 781 km/27.3 cm=x km/15.8 cm. Keep the units on the same side of the fraction
Cross-multiply
15.8*781=27.3 x
x=15.8*781/27.3=452 km, which makes sense, because it is a smaller distance but not half as small.
