Question

The scale on a map reads 1 cm = 250 km. How far is the actual distance if the map distance measures 3.8 cm?

Answer 1

Answer:

950 km

Step-by-step explanation:

1 cm = 250 km

3.8 * 250  = 950

Answer 2

Answer:

950 km

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{1}{250} = \frac{3.8}{x}$

(cross multiply)

250(3.8)= 950

(divide both sides by 1)

950/1=950
