Given:
Ratio scale on a map= 5 cm : 1km
Find the distance of two cities in the map if they are 8km apart.
Solution:
Since it is given that 1km is equal to 5 cm in the map, we multiply 8 km by 5 cm to determine the distance of two cities in the map.
= (8)(5)
= 40 cm
The distance of two cities in the map is equal to 40 cm.
