The scale of a certain map is 1cm to 25km.What is the actual distance represented by 2.80cm?
2.8 * 25 = _______ km
70km
To find the actual distance represented by 2.80cm on a map with a scale of 1cm to 25km, you can set up a proportion:
Let x be the actual distance.
From the given scale, we can set up the following proportion:
1cm / 25km = 2.80cm / x
To solve for x, you can cross-multiply and solve for x:
1cm * x = 2.80cm * 25km
x = (2.80cm * 25km) / 1cm
x = 70km
Therefore, the actual distance represented by 2.80cm on the map is 70 kilometers.
