Given:
Distance between two cities = 135km

Map scale = 1cm:100km

Determine the distance in map.

Solution:

Since we are already  that the distance of 100 km is 1 cm in map, we simply divide the distance between two cities by 100, in order to determine tis distance in the map.

= 135 /100

= 1.35 cm

The distance of the two cities in the map is 1.35 cm.
