50 POINTS !! Charlotte has a map of the village. The scale on the map is such that 1cm represents 25m.

a) On the map, the church is 7cm from the village store. What is the real distance from the church to the village store?

b) Charlotte calculates her car is parked approximately half a kilometer from the church. On the map, how many cm would represent this distance?

Respuesta :

Answer:

a) 175 m

b) 20 cm

Explanation:

scaled size → actual size

1 cm represents 25 m

a)

In the scaled size on the map, the distance from church to village is 7 cm.

Then actual size,

1 cm → 25 m

7 cm → (25 × 7) m

7 cm → 175 m

b)

half a kilometer = 0.5 km = 500 m

Then scaled size,

25 meter → 1 cm

500 meter → 500/25 cm = 20 cm
