Question 275999: a map has a scale of 5cm = 14 km. if two cities are 13 cm apart on the map, what is the actual distance between the two cities to the nearest tenth of a kilometer? Answer by nerdybill(7384) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! a map has a scale of 5cm = 14 km. if two cities are 13 cm apart on the map, what is the actual distance between the two cities to the nearest tenth of a kilometer?
.
Since the scale is:
14 km per 5 cm
.
We multiply by 13 cm to get our answer:
14/5 * 13
= (14*13)/5
= 36.4 km
