Fan and Medal:The actual distance between two cities is 135 km. The map scale is 1cm:100 km Find the map distance. @mathmale

OpenStudy (mathmale):

You want to know how far apart the two cities appear to be on the map. If the actual distance is 135 km, and the scale is \[\frac{ 1cm }{ 100km },\]

OpenStudy (mathmale):

and you use multiplication, cancelling units where necessary, what distance (in cm) do you obtain?

OpenStudy (electronia):

Um, Im in 7th grade, could you dumb it down a bit?

I think it might be 1.35...

OpenStudy (18turns):

u are right 1.35cm=135 km

Theoceangirl (the_ocean_girl):

You're right! If 1cm= 100km, you would divide the number by 100 to get the value in centimeters!

OpenStudy (electronia):

Oh. Cool. Thank you!
