Question

A distance of $300$km between two towns Peramnager and Srinagar is represented on a map by $4$cm . What is the actual distance between the two towns peramanager and Krishnager if they are $7$cm apart on map?

Answer 1

Distance (original) between two terms $=300$ km

equivalent Distance showed in map $=4$ cm

Now $4$ cm in map $=300$ km in original

$1cm=\frac{300}{4}=75km$ in original

Now 7 cm in map is equivalent to $=7\times 75$

$=525$ km

Hence Distance equivalent to $7$ cm is equal to $525$ km.
