Question

A 2 m long table is drawn in the map that shows the details of a room. If the scale of the map is 1 cm = 50 cm, what is the length of the table on the map?

Answer 1

Scale of the map: 1 cm = 50 cm
Length of the table in reality = 2 m
We know that 1 m = 100 cm
Actual length of the table = 2 m = 2 x 100 = 200 cm
Length of the table on the map = 200 ÷ 50
= 4 cm
