Question 1133626


A town map has a scale of {{{1:45000}}}. =>1143
a). A street in this town is {{{850m}}} long. How long is that street on this map? Round to the nearest tenth. 

distance on the map is measured in cm
{{{850m=85000cm}}}
{{{85000cm(1/45000)=1.889 cm}}}
{{{85000cm(1/45000)=1.9 cm}}}
Distance on the map:	{{{1.9cm}}}

	
b). How long, in reality, is a road that measures {{{5.4cm}}} on the map? 

{{{x(1/45000)=5.4 cm}}}

{{{x=45000*5.4 cm}}}

{{{x=243000 cm}}}....convert to meters

{{{x=(243000/100) m}}}

{{{x=2430m}}}

a road that measures {{{5.4cm}}} on the map, in reality  is {{{2430m}}} long
