the scale map says that 10cm represents 2km what distance on the map in centimeters represent an actual distance of 15 kilometers

Sagot :

Answer:

75cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Well, I can't see a photo, so I'll have to assume that the description provides enough info.

10cm/2km = x/15km,

where x is the distance on the map (in centimeters) of a real-life distance of 15 kilometers.

10cm/2km = x/15km

10/2 = 5/1

This means we have to multiply 5 by 15 to find x.

x = 5 · 15

x = 75

Let's plug the new value back in...

10cm/2km = x/15km

10cm/2km = (75cm)/15km

(Simplify each side to its simplest form)

10cm/2km = 75cm/15km

5/1 = 5/1

It works! So x = 75cm.

Hope this helps! :)
