The 250m between Sam's house and the tennis court corresponds to 5 cm on a town map. What is the actual distance between Sam's school and the library if they are 8.4 cm apart on the same map?

Respuesta :

Answer:

420m

Step-by-step explanation:

250m = 5cm

50m = 1cm

? = 8.4cm

50 x 8.4=

420m = 8.4cm

Step-by-step explanation:

firstly we need to find the scale factor

firstly we know that 250m=25000cm

25000/5=5000

so 1:5000 is scale factor.

Now let us find the distance between Sam's school and the library

if they are 8.4 cm apart on map it means that in actual distance they are

(8.4)*5000=42000 cm in reality
