18cm * 5km/3cm = 6*5 km = 30 km
Sure thing, honey. If the map distance is 6 cm, the actual distance would be 63 km. If the map distance is 8.5 cm, the actual distance would be 89.25 km. Just multiply the map distance by 21 km and divide by 2 cm to get the actual distance. Easy peasy lemon squeezy!
1 cm = 10-5 km (or 0.00001 km) So 8.13 cm = 8.13*10-5 km
Well, honey, if 3 cm on the map represents 18 km in real life, then you just need to do a little math. If Riverside and Smithville are 54 km apart in reality, on the map they would be 9 cm apart. So, grab a ruler and start measuring, darling!
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)
18cm * 5km/3cm = 6*5 km = 30 km
Each cm represents 5 km → 3 × 1 cm : 3 × 5 km → 3 cm : 15 km 3 cm represents 15 km.
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.
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.
It is 20 km * 6.5 = 130 km.
On 1:175,000 scale map one cm on the map represents 175,000 cm (or 1.75 km).
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.
1 cm = 10-5 km (or 0.00001 km) So 8.13 cm = 8.13*10-5 km
8 cm. No calculator required.

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