Question 1206175
A map is drawn to the scale of 1cm: 120m. If the distance between towns X and Y measures 9.5 cm on the map, what is the approximate distance between these towns?? 

{{{distance   on   map/actual distance =1/120}}}



{{{9.5/actual distance =1/120}}}

actual distance = (9.5*120)/1

actual distance = 1140 m

 Approximate distance between towns X and Y is 1140 meters.

Draw a segment on a map  9.5 cm

This represents 1140 m the actual distance
