Question

celine goes for a walk every night.a map of the route has a scale of 1:15,000 in cm. if celine walks 1.5 kilometers on monday night how many cm is the route on the map?

Answer 1

the first thing is to convet those km into cm, then use the forumula
scale = map(paper) distance /ground distance
in the case 1.5km = 1.5x1000000cm = 150000cm
therefore equate 1/15000 = paper distance / 150000cm, then cross multiply
