Question 848426: the map ratio of a map is 1:200000. the distance between 2 towns is 20km.What is this in cm? Find the distance on the map between the points representing the towns. Answer by LinnW(1048) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! The distance between the towns in meters is 20*1000 = 20000.
The distance 20000 meters in cm is 20000*100 = 2000000 .
The distance on the map is 2000000 * (1/20000) = 10cm.
