Question

The distance between Adam's house and his school is $6cm$ on the map. If the scale factor is $1:2000$, The actual distance (in m) between the two places is

• A. 120

Answer 1

The correct option is A 120
The distance on the map $=6cm$

Scale Factor $=1:2000$

This implies, $1cm\left(map\right)=2000cm\left(actual\right)$

We know that, $1m=100cm$

So, $1cm\left(map\right)=20m\left(actual\right)$

Actual Distance $=6\times 20m=120m$
