Question 168857
We have the following ratio:


<pre>
5 cm    x cm
---- = -------
2 km    10 km

</pre>




{{{5/2=x/10}}} Start with the given ratio



{{{(5/2)*10=x}}} Multiply both sides by 10



{{{50/2=x}}} Multiply



{{{25=x}}} Simplify




So our answer is  {{{x=25}}} which means that the map distance is 25 cm
