A map uses a scale of 3 cm to 5 km. A distance on the map is 18 cm. What is the actual distance?

18cm * 5km/3cm = 6*5 km = 30 km


If a map scale reads 1 centimeter equals 5 kilometers how many kilometers does 3 centimeters represent?

Each cm represents 5 km → 3 × 1 cm : 3 × 5 km → 3 cm : 15 km 3 cm represents 15 km.


In a scale of 1 to 40 000 how many centimeters on a map are represented by 2km on the ground?

You will see a distance of 5 cm on your map represent a 2 km distance across the landscape. Your 2 km is 2,000 meters, and there are 100 cm in a meter. That makes for 200,000 cm in 2 km. If you "reduce" or scale it down by a factor of 40,000, you'll get 200,000 / 40,000 = 5 cm.


How is a map with scale of 150000 different from a map with a scale of 124000?

1:150,000 means 1 cm on map is represents 150,000 cm or 1.5 km and 1:124,000 means 1 cm represents 124,000 cm or 1.24 km. Likewise, 1:1,000,000 would be a larger area where 1cm of map represents 1,000,000 cm or 10 km on the ground.


The fractional scale of your road map is 1 cm 20km what distance on the road is represented by a distance 6.5 cm on the map?

It is 20 km * 6.5 = 130 km.


What kind of scaled map is a 175000?

On 1:175,000 scale map one cm on the map represents 175,000 cm (or 1.75 km).


A map scaled at 175000 is considered to be which of following?

On 1:175,000 scale map one cm on the map represents 175,000 cm or 1.75 km (~1 mile) in the real world.


8.13 cm equals how many km?

1 cm = 10-5 km (or 0.00001 km) So 8.13 cm = 8.13*10-5 km


If a store is 8 km from school and a map of the area has a scale of 1 cm per km what is the distance between the store and the school on the map?

8 cm. No calculator required.


If 1 cm equals 5 km how many km are in 1.7 cm?

If you are talking about metric measurements, 1 cm does not equal 5 km. There are 100,000 cms in a km, so 5 km is actually 500,000 cm To answer your question going along with your assumption that if 1cm = 5 km, there would be 8.5 km in 1.7cm (1.7 x 5 = 8.5)


If two locations are 1 km apart in actuality but only 1 cm apart on a map what is the map's scale?

To find the scale:Convert the measurements to the same units (usually the smaller units)drop the unitssimplify1 m = 100 cm 1 km = 1,000 m = 1,000 × 100 cm = 100,000 cmMap scales are given with the map figure, then the real-life figure→ map scale is 1 cm : 1 km (1cm on the map represents 1 km in the real world)= 1 cm : 100,000 cm= 1 : 100,000(This final scale means that 1 whatever measured on the map represents 100,000 of the same whatevers measured in the real world, ie 1mm on the map is 100,000 mm = 100 m in the real world, 1 cm on the map is 100,000 cm = 1 km in the real world, etc.)


How many km are in 8.5 cm?

1 cm = 10-2 metres =10-5 km So, 8.5 cm = 8.5*10-5 km = 0.000085 km
