On a map with with a scale 1: 700 000 what is the actual driving distance in km from:


Point A to Point B- 13.8cm on map


Point C to Point D- 36.9cm on map


Point E to Point F- 2.4cm on map


Point G to Point H- 33.4cm on map





please explain how u came to your conclusion.

Use proportions





1/700000 = 13.8/x





x = 700000 * 13.8





x = 9660000 cm or 96.6 km





(1 km = 100,000 cm)





Follow the same method for the remaining
Reply:Since the scale is 1:700000 then multiply your distances by 700000. Then divide by 10 000 to convert from cm to km.





13.8(70 000)/10 000=96.6km


258.3km


16.8km


233.8km
Reply:1 cm = 700 000 km


13.8 cm = ???





13.8 * 700 000 / 1 =9660 000km
Reply:Thats why knowlege is power!
