A state map shows that the ratio of map distances to actual distances is 2cm to 7km . Use this scale to determine how many times greater the actual distances are than what's seen on the map.

Parth (parthkohli):

\(\Large \color{MidnightBlue}{\Rightarrow {7km \over 2cm} }\) Just divide to find what 1cm on the map is in real life.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so 7/2 right

Parth (parthkohli):

Yeah, and the value will be in kilometers.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3.5

Parth (parthkohli):

Yes.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks

Parth (parthkohli):

And wait.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yEAH

Parth (parthkohli):

Not 3.5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ooo

Parth (parthkohli):

Convert 3.5km to cm.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3.5cm right

Parth (parthkohli):

Oh no! 3.5 * 1000 * 100

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3.5x1000=35000

Parth (parthkohli):

And multiply that by 100.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3500000

Parth (parthkohli):

And here is the answer.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

350000

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah thanks again
