To answer this question, you can set up a proportion that illustrates the map scale against the true distance.
4cm/5km=x/4km
16=5x
3.2cm=x
4cm/5km=x/4km
16=5x
3.2cm=x
Answer:
3.2 cm on the map (in centimeters) represents an actual distance of 4 km
Step-by-step explanation:
The scale of a map says 4cm represents 5km
We are supposed to find what distance on the map (in centimeters) represents an actual distance of 4 km
5 km = 4 cm
1 km = [tex]\frac{4}{5} cm[/tex]
4 km = [tex]\frac{4}{5} \times 4 cm[/tex]
4 km = [tex]3.2 cm[/tex]
Hence 3.2 cm on the map (in centimeters) represents an actual distance of 4 km
