Question

on a map , 3 centimeters is equal ro 50 kilometers in the real world . if the distance between two towns on the map is 12 centimeters,how far apart are they in the real world

Answer 1

Every 3cm is 50km, so 3 divided 12 is 4 and 50 multiplied by 4 is 200. Therefore, 12cm is equal to 200km.

 

3 centimeters = 50 kilometers

12 centimeters= x            , solve for x.

 

Cross multiply 12 and 50 and the answer is 600, then divide by 3 and the answer is 200km.

 

Hope this helps!!!
